Yeah I second that. I have found that a lot of my hatchlings just wont drink out of a water dish even though one is in there 24/7. When I put them in a tub to soak thats the first thing they do
AnthonyC said:Honestly, I have NEVER once seen any of my 3 babies drink! Sounds crazy, right? I would guess that they're doing it, but not when I'm watching. I soak them daily, and sometimes twice a day. They're healthy, active, and they eat like little brontosaurus' so I'm not too worried about it.
