My beardie wont drink water

BeardieLover321 · Sep 25, 2016

So i got my baby beardie (2 months) this friday, i fed it (idk the gender yet) sweet peppers, collard greens, and butter worms and dubai roaches, i tried to feed it water but it didnt work out, i even gave it a bath,i also put in front of a water bowl it didnt drink and water, i dont worry to much,i mist the vegetables with water and put water on its lips, but i want it to drink its water ( i will put some photos of the beardie and the bowl.) If you have any tips and tricks please let me know, thank you

Most beardies don't drink water from a bowl. As long as he/she eats things with water on it (like you are doing) it's good.

Your welcome. If for some reason he is not getting ANY water into his body, you can drip a few small drops onto his mouth, by it shouldn't be a problem.

I will drop some water on the snout and if my girl is thirsty she will lap it up. I repeat until she is not drinking any more.

You can do that with a syringe, while it's in its bath or just with your fingers (i have a towel and she's usually on me at that time)

Reptar used to drink his water when he was in the bath, but he stopped doing that when he reached about a year old. Now I give his water with a oral syringe. I will just drop the water on his mouth. If he doesn't open his mouth then I stop and try again later. It took about a week or so to get him used to the syringe, but now when he sees the syringe he knows that he is about to get his daily water!
