She will not impact the water in her tank, she hates baths, so the terminal thing her mind when she is in the bath is to take a drink.

Many beardies do not drinkable, so no worries. This is precisely the reason information technology is so important to breast-stroke them still, I realize that there is a certain amount of "tough love" that goes along with this. :roll: Beardies take in nigh of their water at the vent (where they poop), and so a adept fifteen-xx minute soak, 2-four times per calendar week in baby warm water is really all they need to remain properly hydrated. Well, that and proper tank temps.

One trick I've learned recently is to have beardie out of the enclosure for a few minutes BEFORE putting her into the bathroom. If she's straight out of her enclosure, going from the desert estrus to the bathroom can seem jarring and she tries to bolt. However, if she'south had a moment on my shoulder or looking out the window, she cools some, and so tends to at-home in the bath as information technology's nice and warm and soothing.

As Rozen mentioned, a good supplemental hydrating technique is to put some drops on the nose or mist beardie lightly on the caput, and she may take a drop or two that way, in addition to the bathing.

Hope this helps to reassure you!

The all-time,

I just splash the h2o a bit with my finger and E starts licking the h2o. I think he likes to hunt the bubbles honestly. :lol:

As well, it is said that bearded dragons won't drink from withal water in the wild and then by splashing the h2o information technology gives it the outcome of running water instead
