I just want to chime on water.
Soaking and or misting is absolutely pointless. (Unless they lap the water). I say this so much i need to just make it into a note so i can copy and paste lol. They absolutely have to take water orally to be hydrated. The soaking through thier skin or their vent is one of the most horrible and detrimental pieces of misinformation there is.
If he will drink from a bowl your a step ahead, most NEVER will.
If he doesn't you can use an eyedropper to drip it on his snout. He should start lapping at it. Go slow and at his pace, if you try to force it you can aspirate him. Babies dehydrate a lot faster than older beardies so you need to offer water a lot more frequently.
