Soaking Hognose
Ive caught my hognose sitting in his little water dish twice. Temps are spot on, humidity is low, he is eating regularly, and his first shed was a complete. Is it normal for them to soak?

Re: Soaking Hognose
I don't ever see my Hognose soak. Any chance of mites?

Re: Soaking Hognose
Well, that is strange. If your sure there aren't any mites then just keep an eye on it.

It's not unusual. Mine do it from time to time.

Mine soak periodically. I would not worry to much, just keep an eye on him. Oh yeah, try providing a smaller hide. Sometimes they feel more secure in the water bowl, if their hide is to big.

Re: Soaking Hognose
thanks guys. i have been changing his water every night and checking for mites, still no sign. I was watching him last night and he would go in his water dish for about 4 or 5 minutes then he would go dig around in his tunnels.
And about the hide, i tried using a hide with him and he seemed to like to stay in his tunnels more than the hide, ill try a smaller one see if he like that. thanks again.

Re: Soaking Hognose
I'm a little late on this one, but oh well.
Hogs, especially western or plains, will soak occasionally. My femals 100%het albino does it all the time, not to retain moisture, but she does it for fun. I can always tell when she wants to come out and play because she'll climb, move around alot, torment my bearded dragons (which are in a cage next to her. They think she's a gian mealworm), or soak. It happens, it's normal, as long as they don't drown!
