Is my Beardie dehydrated?

[JordanNM730]

He drinks well, but the breeder said he looked dehydrated. The breeder however was not very trustworthy so I wonder if he really does look dehydrated. Let me know, thanks!

You can't really tell hydration levels from outward appearance. If hes drinking water then hes already probably more hydrated than other dragons. How do his urates look?if they are softly formed and white he is well hydrated.

Discolored and hard chalky could be a sign he isnt hydrated too well.

They are white and soft, thanks so much! You’re so helpful! How do you have time to answer everyone’s stuff? Do you have Beardies of your own? Would love to see a pic of them! :wink:

I have 4! LOL.

Tombo and Moro have their own threads in the beardie tales section of this forum. And my two new girls have a thread in the introductions forum. Lots of pictures in those 3 threads haha.

Let's just say I get bored at work easily lol... and I like talking dragons
