Hi everyone,
I've never seen my beardy drinking. Not from his drinking plate nor from something else. He is 5 years old and is healthy. He does eat cucumber and fruit. However, he is in brumation now and has not been awake for a month, which is normal for him, but this means that he does not drink or eat during brumation. I can put cucumber there every 2 days but he probably won't react. Shall I wait till he wakes up and try to feed him? And is it a problem that he never seems to drink?
Thanks in advance!
Anne
Bearded dragon while brumating won't eat or drink sometimes, it isn't that bad. As long as he pooed since the last time he ate, I would leave him alone to sleep. Monitor his weight, just to make sure there isn't a drastic drop.
As for drinking, if your beardie is well hydrated enough, it won't need to drink. Just keep giving him regular bath and you should be good.
