[QUOTE="xp29, post: 2034077, member: 114539"] A couple thoughts. To many baths are not good for them, can cause skin issues. The pellets are not really good for them either, they are made with a lot of gmo products that can reek havoc on their health. Tracie [USER=8309]@Drache613[/USER] is a vet tech drop her a line and ask her about the processed foods for beardies or the insects you feed your beardie. While I'm talking about that, also don't feed your roaches high protein diets. It leads (can) to gout in your beardie (even very young beardies) the roaches convert protein to uric acid and store it the way we do fat. They store it at levels beardies can't manage and it causes gout. Baby roaches need protein to grow, adults need it to mate. The in between that you feed needs to only have vegetation for several weeks before feeding to deplete the uric acid. Back to baths, lizards 🦎 use the same muscle group to walk and to breathe, they can't do both at once, they also can't tread water and breathe at the same time, so please be careful with baths. Your beardie needs to be able to reach the bottom at all times. They can aspirate incredibly quickly so just keep an eye out. As for drinking, if they will drink from standing water or a bath, that's great. Most won't. You can use an eyedropper to drip water on their snout. They should lap it up. If they don't you can add in a little none citrus fruit juice or punch to give it flavor. Also you can add in a little liquid calcium as well. (Taste the liquid calcium yourself, I've gotten some that taste horrible and my guys refused it) If you use some kind of juice to flavor it, be sure to use a wet 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. I prefer the eyedropper over a syringe because you can control the amount dispensed better. Try to get plastic droppers, they can bite hard enough to break the glass ones. Not trying to be mean or judgemental or anything like that and I'm sorry if that was a bit matter of fact (I've typed that like 357,664,345,689 times before lol) just trying to get good info out there. I just want to see you and your beardie both thrive. 🙂 [/QUOTE]
