If you have the time, you should give your beardies baths daily, just so they could stay hydrated.
Do they have water bowls in their vivs? Do you offer water orally from a syringe or dropper?

luke warm water, for about 15-20 mins. Make sure its not too deep. Up to their elbows is good, as long as it covers the base of the tail. Younger I would bathe more often, daily if possible. My adult I still bathe about 3X week. I dont offer dishes of water though, seems tough to keep clean. I soak her in the tub since she jumps out of sinks. Then I spray with clorox to disenfect after.

Just want to let you know that bath time can be weird. Mine sits in the bath tub and just pouts. His tail goes up and he simply waits for it to be over. He gets a bath once a week and you need to go on doing it even when your dragon brumates (aka hibernates). It will wake up somewhat , maybe bask for 20 minutes or so then crawl right back to sleep.
