Louie gets about 20-30 minutes in the bathtub, preferably after pooping in her water pan (so mom doesn't have to scoop poo out before she takes a shower). To me, bathtime is EXERCISE time! I fill the tub with lukewarm water kinda deep (about shoulder height) and let it gradually drain....Lou is a great swimmer! (although still doesn't like it so much). As the water drains to about 2-3 inches, Lou makes a mad dash for the edge, but luckily it's too steep, so Lou gets some in-place climbing time while I lightly splash some water to keep the skin moist. (Some of you might think it's cruel to just let my igg climb and climb without going anywhere, but mom supervises and Lou gets great exercise from it!) When fatigue finally sets in, mom takes Louie home and gives her a BIG collared leaf to munch on before Lou crashes out on her bed platform (*thanks for the workout, mom!*) It keeps her in shape and keeps her out of trouble trying to escape! :)
