Horses and tortoises
by: Shelly

I've heard that you an lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink.

I can't vouch for horses, but I know this is true for tortoises.

If you leave water for a tortoise, it will drink if it needs a drink. More likely, the tortoise will just soak in the water.

Make sure it's just up to the spot where the bottom of top shell ends. Room temperature is great.

Keep the water clean and available. Your tortoise will hydrate when needed.

This will also help with elimination.

Keep it slow and steady.
