I have a dwarf retic who's about 7 years old and 9 feet. She's been soaking a lot recently, so I took her out for a bath. We let her soak in the bathtub for about two hours, then when we put her in her cage she got right into her water bowl. Is this worrisome behaviour or does it suggest a problem? Her cage humidity was fine when she got back in it, and we didn't see any floating mites when she was in the bathtub.
Thanks!

usually when they soak alot, it means one of, or a combination of about 3 main things. they are in shed, they have mites, or the cage is too warm and they are cooling off. and i just remembered another possibility, they may soak also when they are ready to defecate
