hello
ok ive joined quite late in the conversation here and im so glad to hear he did poop! i know how scary it is when they dont go like clockwork!
ok sorry to say this and not sure if it may have already been said but misting him is not a good idea nor is misting his environment either as both of these can cause his humidity levels to rise too much and that could lead to an RI and thats the last thing your lil one needs right now.
i would not have thought he would like being sprayed either, when mine are splashing about in their baths and a drop of water gets in their eyes or near their eyes, they instantly close them then black beard and i always think "well you did it not me" lol.
no they do not soak the water through their skin however they can indeed soak water through their vents very well and this is the best way to hydrate them, no chance then to have them aspirate any in their lungs. so the water level should be just above their elbows or even up to their armpits if hes an adult and as long as their vents (where they poop from) below water level then he will be kinda drinking it, :shock: hope this helps some more

I have read several sites that say soaking them is a good way to hydrate them - is this true? I guess I don't understand that - do they soak it in through their skin? If they aren't actually drinking from the bath tub, how would it hydrate them? Sorry for the ignorant questions, but I am trying to learn as much as possible.
