I just got this female a deeper water dish that she can fully fit in and she hasn't seemed to leave it since, which is a few days. Do any of you guys have balls that like to soak like this?
I have looked over her and there is no sign of mites. She appears perfectly healthy, and cage temps and humidity are good. I think she my just like to soak.

Hi,
I have heard that some females before they ovulate will soak like this.
Good Luck,
Bill
maybe she is just feeling a little dehydrated.
All mine have enough room to soak, but have yet to see them do it, but one I had years ago that loved too.

maybe she is soaking up for an upcoming shed cycle...who knows??? I have a few that like to just hang in their water bowls as well...you can put her in a tub for a few days with pure white paper towels on the bottom and periodically check for mites or just remove her from the bowl under a bright strong light and inspect the bottom for mites as well if she has mites their will be some in the bowl almost guaranteed....just my 2cents hope it helps........joe
Already checked, no mites just seems to like to soak.
