Lentils take about an hour to soak.. the longer they soak the better. I actually let mine sprout. They do eat them dry.. but I would not offer them dry unless your uros eat a ton of greens because the lentils will absorb moisture while the uro tries to digest them. Some people say feed them only as a treat once in a while.. I offered probably 10 sprouted lentils.. 4 days out of the week or so. Before sprouting.. some say lentils are a bit too high in protein to be feed everday... Im no vet so I have no idea for sure.

I soak them really well for an hour or so then I drain the excess water. Later that night I run water through them and drain it again. I do that probably twice a day until Gordo has eaten them all. They usually sprout sometime on the second day. I keep them in a cereal bowl. I probably do about a tablespoon at a time and they last a week before looking gross. Then I dump them out and start over. Just don't leave them in standing water overnight because they ferment instead of sprout.

I place a paper towel on a plate and totally soak it, then pour the water off. Then sprinkle some lentils on the paper towel. Keep it moist with a daily misting and you should see sprouts in a few days.
