Turkey not drinking water

[Goose08]

I have a bbw turkey Tom who is extremely attached to me, and will stand at my door and wait for me all day. The problem is, no matter how much water I have for him he won’t drink, and just struts, gobbles and pants all day in 75°+ heat. Any tips on getting him to drink?

Hi! Can you offer cucumber or watermelon? Maybe some juicy fruit will entice him.

He is obviously getting water somewhere or he would already be dead. They cannot live very long without water.

Thank you! That’s actually very smart. I’ll definitely be trying that!
