hydration

[falcor33]

hello again,

just to be sure i'm doing things right,

falcor eats veggies (sprayed down with water) everyday, eats plenty of phoenix worms, and gets dusted crickets too.

i have her on this schedule of bathing every other day, and in the between days i spray her down.

she would always take in water from a droplet, i would drop water on her, and she'd drink it. now, she doesnt want anything to do with it!!

is it because she's pretty well hyrdated already, and doesnt want/need the water?

does she 'have' to drink water straight, or is what i'm doing ok?

thanks again!!!!

soaking her every other day is great! I wouldn't worry about spraying her tho, since that can raise humidity in the enclose which isn't good.

thanks!

i actually spray her outside of her cage, never inside. I hold her and spray her in my hand over the sink, then let her dry

brings me to another question, how often do you clean your beardies cage?

I clean up poop as soon as I see it, and I scrub the enclosure down once a week. Just give the tile a nice disinfecting and clean the glass and such. I try to scrub all their furniture down too. .but sometimes that only happens every other week.
