okay so shes back in and looks traumatized, but no black beard no stress mark, i am wondering if its a water thing. shes always seemed to hate baths and everytime i put her in one she would try and run back up my arm, and once shes in it she just spends her time trying to get out and trying to climb the walls, ive tried a smalled bath, a shorter one and those she just jumps right out off. its like she HATES water. Im gonna leave her alone and maybe we can make up tonight becauze i feel so bad. Could that be the reason this happened tho, because of the water?? and if so what can i do instead of baths? just spray?

I would start dropping water on her nose for hydration for now- rinse the greens before serving she will water from them as well - watch her urate and poops - urate should be white formed and moist - poop dark formed and moist -- any dry chalky urate shes dehydrated

shes never hate a problem ready with hydration because of the bugs i give her and i do spray down her salad. but i still see that you should give them a bath like 2 times a week and i give her like max 1 a week because she freaks out over them, she doesnt drink any water from the bath either so idk how its benifiting her but shes doing better now and ill work w the dropper, thank you!

They DON'T need baths unless they are dirty, if they track in their poop -- bath. Otherwise unless they actually drink in the bath there is no reason to put them through it. Contrary to popular myth they DO NOT hydrate through their skin or vent. That is one of the absolute worse pieces of misinformation floating around. I cringe to think how many beardies get dehydrated because of it. They have to drink water or eat food high in water content to stay hydrated.
Like Karrieree said, you can use an eyedropper to drip it on their snout. Your beardie should start lapping it up. If not you can add in a little none citrus fruit juice or punch to give it flavor. Be sure to use a wet paper towel or wet wash cloth to wipe away any that runs down their chin. No need to take a chance on causing bacteria or fungus to start in their scales. For babies they need water way more often than older beardies, they can dehydrate very quickly.

She just hates water so I try and feed her bugs high in water content and she hydrated perfectly fine but yeahhhh just another thing google ig is wrong abt, and right after i got her out she went to the bathroom and ran through it but i just got a damp towel and washed her off with it, shes squeaky clean now
