Its so sad when you come across bad husbandry. Good job people like you about to take them on.
I bath daily my little lot kept indoors, outdoors not at all as they are kept as natural as possible and have the ability to drink and bath and soak. you a have to be committed for the long haul I think, too many keepers have 5 minute wonders which is incredible when these creatures live to the age they do. I spray the substrate daily also and the Tortoise ! I think this is particularly important because it sets them up environmentally when outdoors - rain, UK..rain ... weed growth ....flourishing plants...dry..not so flourishing plants...rain..growth ....forage...CB
