Pooping bearded dragon

[KiwidaBeardedDragon]

I don’t know if this is the place to post this in but a while ago I started putting my bearded dragon in the bath for I tiny bit each morning to make sure she pooped and after doing this multiple times she began to poop 5 sec after entering bath, now she rarely poops in her cage, she will poop in the cage if she can’t hold it but she usually goes in the bath each morning and don’t worry the bath is very quick. Has anyone else trained there bearded dragon to do this because it’s good because I just flush poop down the drain and I don’t have to pick up out of her cage.

Yep. That's a great way to help train them. You may be able to take it a step further eventually (if she likes baths go ahead and keep offering them) by taking her out onto an easy to clean floor surface and keeping her in that room until she goes. It becomes a routine and time of day thing. I put a basking light in my kitchen and bring my guy out for basking time and breakfast while I get ready in the mornings and he goes and then is free to roam the house. They do tend to learn by routine so try to build a routine that works for both of you.

So does he poo every day then?

Quite expensive. He doesn't poop every day (younger dragons might as you know). Usually if he hasn't gone within the first hour so (after I've eaten and enjoyed a coffee) he gets free. Sometimes he will spite poop later on somewhere else but that doesn't happen too frequently.
