My bearded dragon doesn't drink much at all. I've read frequently that they don't need drinks very often and most of it comes from their food. How true is that?
He's about 6 months old, closer to 7 months, and looks pretty healthy, doesn't show signs of dehydration.
Depending on what I have, he gets different veggies, like red peppers, butternut squash, pak choi and spring greens.
I feed him a variety of insects, consisting of mainly dubias, calci worms and silk worms, and sometimes superworms, as he likes to chase them around - it gives him excersise. I would like to try hornworms, but I can't get them in scotland.
Is this enough to keep him hydrated? I try to drip some water on his nose with a dropper, but he doesn't always drink it. I've never seen him drink out of his water bowl - though the water levels drop, which I assume is it simply evaporating.
