I recently got a bearded dragon who I've named Jet, he's a little stinker already! He hasn't drank any water even though I've tried, I even gave him a bath, he seems to like those. I read online about the Baths how Beardie's soak the water through they're skin but I don't know how true that is. He hasn't eaten any veggies, I've tried squash, a red lettuce and some fruits the last two days.
He hasn't touched it once but he loves Crickets like crazy, and a bit of mealworms. I had to get another 10 dozen because he finished 2 dozen this morning even though I've had him since Sunday

Hello, and welcome to the wonderful world of beardies!

Beardies will rarely drink water, as they absorb most moisture through their food :)

As far as food, you'll need to correct a few small things: firstly, no mealworms should be fed. Mealworms have a very hard chitinous shell, which makes them very difficult to digest and can cause impaction, which in some cases can be fatal. No lettuce, as it doesn't benefit them in almost any way. Only leafy leafy greens like collard, turnip, mustard, and dandelion. For all safe foods, look through this list: http://www.beautifuldragons.com/Nutrition.html

Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
