Rachel, your tortoise is so cute. I was wondering what kind of tortoise he is? why did you name him Bear?

A tortoise who is spending a lot of time in a burrow may be trying to cool off. Try lowering the temperature a degree or two to see if that helps. A tortoise needs warmth, but also a place to cool off.

Keep it slow and steady.

peeing is perfectly normal after drinking, check the temperature of the habitat to make sure it isnt too old
