HI Nicolai,

Not real sure about the soaking. I'm like you, I've heard to soak and not to soak. To be on the safe side, I keep a very shallow pan for her to get into when & if she wants, but I also soak her in lukewarm water every other day or so just in case.

Concerning the grasses, go to the Turtle Cafe at www.turtlecafe.com. They have an indoor tortoise grazing mix that has everything but the kitchen sink in it (grasses, cicory, clover, etc). Theresa, who runs Turtle Cafe, is VERY helpful. She also sells outdoor mixes, as well as fresh prickly pear as well.

Hope this help!

Joey
