I've had my sulcata hatchling around a month now. He went from passing urates 1-2 times a week, to 2-4 times a week. The consistency varies, but its normally more on the watery side instead of being chalky. He gets soaked anywhere from 15-30 minutes a day and the humidity is between 75-85 percent (depending on the time of day). How often do they normally pass urates?

There is no set schedule. What you care about is the consistency. The urates should be either creamy or cottage cheese consistency. If they become hard or rock-like, the tortoise may be dehydrated.
