Re: Soaking your tortoise
I think it would be worth mentioning that Reptiboost contains glucouse, which is sugar, and too higher sugar levels is as bad for tortoises as it is for us. Reptiboost should only be used as and when needed for tortoises if a tortoise is ill, it should also be rinsed off after use.
