First bath!

[Spikey92]

Hello,

my bofriend and I bought a baby bearded dragon 5 days ago. Everything was fine but since today I´m a little bit concerned cause he stopped eating (MORE ABOUT THAT IN "BABY DOESNT WANNA EAT".Maybe you can help me)

Anyways.. I was wondering when the best time for his first little bath would be? He has a water dish in his enclosure and I´ve seen him drinking from there twice.He walks in there but its not really deep.I mean I dont want him to drown ,so I was thinking about bathing him in a little lunchbox with a rock in there. My bearded Dragon Manual couldnt really tell me a lot about bathing. I´m gonna use warm water for sure. But how long does a "normal" baby bath take? Am I supposed to dry him after it or do I let him just back in his enclosure?

Thanks for your help!

Once you bathe him you can place him under his basking lamp to dry. They dry pretty quickly since there is no hair. I would suggest no longer than a 10 minute bath.

I give daisy about a 10 mintue bath a couple times a week. And mist her every morning. I bath her a little more when she is shedding because it helps with the process. Then I get a small towel and dry her.
