Bath time/ Shedding

[jcot13]

Hey all, i was wondering how long bath time should be or if a time limit doesn't matter? how often? how can i make bath time fun and enjoyable? also, can i bathe more than once a day, especially now because my beardie is going through a shed?

15-20 mins bath should be good. Although there isn't really a set time limit, especially if you want to to multiple baths in one day.

The main concern is temperature of the tub. If you continue to warm it up (letting it get no cooler than 80*) as needed, baths up to a half hour are fine. Daily baths are a great way to keep a beardie hydrated, though if your beardie does not enjoy baths (some just don't; others love them), you may want to consider shorter baths a few times a week, so you don't stress him out too much.

Thanks everyone! so more than once a day is acceptable?

It is but you really only need every other day.

okay, i enjoy giving him baths and he enjoys them, so i do everyday, no harm right? and only when he sheds i do more than one a day.

Sounds great! Just be sure he dries off completely afterwards (towel then basking).
