Link about getting beardies to drink from bowls

[etanainen]

Sarah over at Sarah's Bearded Dragon Rescue (a great blog about nursing sickly/neglected beardies and some other lizards back to health) has successfully trained her beardies to drink from their water bowls.

Thanks for posting that. Sarah's blog is a great resource and I follow it regularly to pick up ideas and read stories about dragon rescues.

I trained mine to do this as well. Started with drinking in the bath then progressed to bowls. I stopped this immediately after my female aspirated and died in my hands. I was able to bring her back successfully with cpr, but I was very lucky. I will never take the risk again, and would advise others against it. The panic I felt was indescribable.

Really! Wow. I'm very sorry to hear you and your beardie went through that, Phurba.
