: Since we deprive these naturally burrowing animals of their micro climates and use artificial heat in generally to small of an environment, I do advocate leaving water available at all times. If they want it, its there. Babies, having a smaller body mass are far more vulnerable to dehydration. I don't actually soak mine but I will keep a shallow saucer of fresh water available and plop them in it every other day or so if I haven't noticed them drinking.

LOL.
Theresa puts it in a nutshell, took me loads of babbling posts and I still didn't get it across!

Thanks Tcc!
I've noticed that Hoku the baby is much more interested in water than the bigger sulcatas.He drinks every morning just about, and loves his soak.

It was the same with the two juveniles when they came in for the night.

Once bigger and housed outdoors 24/7 they seem to lose interest in the drinking water.And no way will they tolerate a soak!
