I never came across soaking in care sheets. How often should you soak them?
Bathing is an important part in keeping a healthy dragon. Regular
bathing for minimum of 10 minutes several times a week helps keep the beardie
hydrated, clean, and helps to relax the muscles thus making it easier for them to go to the bathroom.
Make sure that the
bath water is warm to the touch (95*-99* F) and fill it full enough to reach their shoulders/armpits. Remember if it feels too warm to you then it's definately to hot for them. Some beardies are comfortable
bathing in the sink or the
bath tub and others may not like
bath time at all. You can try placing a see through Rubbermaid container on your countertop and gently placing your beardie inside. He may feel more comfortable resting on your hand while it is submerged in the water. For babies I suggest using a dish clothe on the bottom of the container so they can walk without slipping this will help your beardie to feel a bit safer. They need to feel secure or they will never enjoy
bath time. And get ready to pick your beardie out of the
bath water should he decide to poop in it.
