Lol... I do make him Tom. For the month and a half that I have had him back with me, I have every day. I had asked the question whether or not him splashing around like that and getting water up his nose would cause him any harm. When I take him out I can hear the water in his nose when he breathes. I guess I was just being paranoid. I was getting a little nervous at the water in his nose would effect his health. So I was just asking if it would. So I will continue with his daily soaks, take your advice and instead of pulling him out after 10 or 15 minutes I will make him go the full 30 minutesDude. What do you mean put up with it? What choice does he have. Stick him in the water, keep the water warm one way or another and walk away. Its not hurting him.
Some tortoises act like you are dropping them in acid. I've had many start out that way. All of them get used to it, and it hurts none of them.
Its good for them. It does not harm. It really doesn't matter if they don't like it. They all get used to it.
My daughter doesn't want to go to bed when I tell her too either. Sometimes she cries and acts like she's being abused. I still make her go to bed on time every single night.
