Hi. I was just wondering if it is safe to add a tiny amount of fruit juice to the water to try and get them to drink. I read somewhere that’s it’s ok until they get used to drinking from water dish.

A little bit probably won't be harmful but sugar isn't great for them. Not all of them want to drink from a dish and that's OK if they're getting plenty of fresh food and bugs. As far as training them to drink from a dish, a lot of the ones that do tend to respond to movement of the water so flicking the water with your finger can help.

Thanks. Yes I wouldn’t give juice long term I’ve tried flicking the water and and spraying the leaves of the fake plants. But generally she isn’t interested. Her veg is sprayed a little and she has a long soak once a week. :)

Better off offering something like apple juice or a little bit of honey .

I know some people add fruit juice to dry VetaFarm lizard pellets to encourage their skinks and dragons to eat them.

Cordial , I'd avoid.

What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.

i feel so sad reading your about me 😢
Clapton is acclimating okay I think. He's quick as lightning so I'm not sure how much I should bring him out of his house yet. He's not at all interested in his salad though. I wonder if I should change what I'm giving him. Least he's eating his crickets.

Things to do:
Buy calcium powder
Material to raise surface for basking spot
Scenery decals for back of tank
Taking my beardie for a walk
