For some reason when I try to give my beardie a bath he jumps a lot and acts kinda crazy. The water is barely warm and there isn't a lot. I usuelly do it in the sink. Has anyone had this?
I would say try the bath tub because he make not like the metallic reflections in the sink or the enclosed space feeling... One of my bearded dragons dislikes a bath in the sink but dos much better in the tub. Also, try warmer water. Our bearded dragons seem to be happier in really warm water. Hope this helps!
I use a small 8 inch high tote for Harleys tub. Harley used to HATE baths when she was a baby. She did the same thing with jumping and acting like it was an acid bath. Try to let them sit on your hand to get used to it assuming your dragon trusts you to begin with or put down a wash cloth in there so they have something to grip. After a while they usually calm down and like now, Harley loves baths and actually splashes her legs around in there sometimes like she is playing.
I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
