Few concerns, reassurance needed!

Hi, I've had my beardie for about a month now, he eats well, is no longer showing signs of stress and has settled well into his home and routine, likes being handled and is alert and active. I've posted a pic which id appreciate any opinions on whether he looks healthy and some advice on 3 things that concern me:

1)poo-zigs poo is a bit sloppy brownish/greenish and not formed. It looks a little bit slimy sometimes, is this normal?

2)veg-he eat none! Literally! I've tried everything, is this going to harm him?

3) hydration-he never drinks! I drop water onto his tongue on the rare occasions he wants it and I bathe him once weekly. I always ensure his locusts have a fresh supply of carrots to hydrate them in the hope that they are in turn hydrating him! Is there anything I can do to get him to drink or should I not be concerned?

Thanks!!

He looks pretty good to me. Don't worry too much about veges yet. It's good to offer them but they tend to prefer bugs until their growth slows down at about 12-18 months. He'll get most of the hydration he needs from well hydrated bugs. You can offer him a bath or drop some water on his nose to offer more but he should be OK without it. It's a good sign that he is active and alert. If his poops are consistently runny it may be worth offering a probiotic, or perhaps he's just getting too much hydration and passing it through. If it is clear the room smelly it may be a parasitic infection but you'd need to take a sample to the vet for analysis to determine that.

Ok. At least one thing I noticed. You said you soak him once a week. They need to be bathed DAILY. They take in water through their vent as well as their mouths so don't be too concerned if you don't see your dragon drinking.
You also said that your dragon won't eat any veggies. Two things there : Try a different staple green. Collard greens are great and mine loves them. Also try adding some NON CITRUS fruit. Strawberry, Melon, Apples, Are all good. Just make sure you cut them up small. Carrots might be a little too hard for a small dragon. Secondly : I don't remember what age you said your dragon is BUT in the beginning they need 80% bugs and 20% greens,veggies etc. When they get to be older that changes to the exact opposite. IT IS ESSENTIAL that you teach them when small to eat their "salad". It might be time for TOUGH LOVE. No bugs till you eat your salad. Might take a couple days but eventually your dragon will start eating salad. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU MAKE SURE OF THIS. GOOD LUCK.
