Is this ok and why do you think he is doing it? I dont think he about to shed bc he shed about 3 weeks ago. Thank you for your help!

He may be going back into shed. Some of my smaller balls shed about once every 2-3 weeks. He may just be going trough a growth spurt. Also, check the water for mites, thats another reason why he could be soaking. Other reasons could be that the humidity isn't right or that he's constipated or maybe he just likes the temperature in the dish.
