Im back with another question. :?
My beardie, Ike, absolutely hates water.
I have tried misting him to get him hydrated but he freaks out and bolts! I make sure the temp of the water is warm but not hot, so I really don't know what it is that is making him freak.
I have tried baths but he frantically tries to escape and climb up the sides. Again, I check the temps so its not too hot/cold and even have a wash cloth so he has something to hang on to and feel secure. He still tries to escape :?
I also have tried using an eyedropper and dropping water on the tip of his nose but he will either ignore it or shake his head. Sometimes he will sit there until the water evaporates...
The only time I have seen him have any sort of water was when he ate some endives.
His skin is a bit wrinkled and I'm worried that it could be dehydration.
