Answer
Hi, Cara.

To help you, I need to know what kind of tortoise, how big it is, and how you are caring for it- what the housing is like, the temps, diet, etc.

Bathing a tortoises does not help them rehydrate very much. It is best to offer them a humid hiding place, the right foods, and drinking water as well.
