Lesson #1: How to Give Your Beardie A Bath

[Hatchi]

Let your beardie soak for about 15 – 20 minutes. The water should not be higher than his shoulders and it should be a little over lukewarm max. Baths help with shedding, pooping, and just the overall cleanness of your beardie.

Cheers,

Sounds good ! It's important to know the best temp. and water level . I'd recommend just 5-10 minutes tops though. And if they poo in it you have to get them out quick.
And never, ever leave them unattended, especially babies. They can aspirate water quickly.

They use the same muscle group to walk and to breathe, they can't do both at the same time, so it goes without saying they can't swim and breath at the same time either. They can drown very quickly. I agree whole heartedly never leave them unattended (don't force them to swim either, it may be cute but it's insanely dangerous for them)

xp29, thank you so much for your reply. You are totally right. Beardies should never be left unattended during a bath!

AHBD, thank you so much for your reply. I totally agree with you. Leaving beardies unattended during a bath is very risky!

I still use bins (I haven't graduated to the bathtub yet)- I would add to be careful of the beardie finding their reflection. At times it would freak Rocky out and it is bath time for me!
