Hi guys,
I have a question regarding soaks: my tortoise Sammy is about 120lbs and I'm wondering if you guys have a recommendation on soaking a tortoise that large? When he was younger I was able to lift him into baths but since he's been this big I mostly "soak" him with a hose (and of course he has drinking water, too). I've been looking online and I can't seem to find anything that would make it easier to allow him to actually sit in the water. Maybe a tub with a ramp? Or where the door to a tub opens?
Also, he has adequate heating in his home now but my vet suggested that he might really enjoy a pigs blanket. Do any of you have experience with that? Thanks in advance,
Lindsey
