    Bathing Frequency

    It seems to be generally recommended to bathe your dragon 2 to 3 times per week. I would like to know what would be wrong with short, daily baths? Rufus is noticeably more active and eats more on days when he has had a morning bath which I did when I suspected he might be slightly dehydrated...

    Greetings!

    I'm Suzanne and have had my 2 month old beardie for 1 week. His name is Rufus and he is a whopping 8 inches long. I've raised many different kinds of animals and stress to the max the first few weeks with each one. I've done so much reading to prepare and maintain a good, healthy environment...
