She's never drank water in the 5 months I've had her !!

Ok soo... MJ has NEVER EVER EVER EVER drank water ... ever. Not when I use a syringe... not in her bath... not out of her water bowl.. etc. I give her baths 3-4 times a week and mist her a couple times a day. Sooo... is this normal !?!?!?! I know beardies don't drink from still water but I've read soo many people beardies drink in their baths... and even seen videos of drinking beardies. lol. Should I be worried ?

 

[Splurge]

Nope, not at all! I've never seen my beardie have a drink either! They can easily get it from there food and from being in the bath. Only worry if your beardies back starts getting much more wrinkly than normal, as this is a sign of dehydration. If that happens, just give more baths.

As for misting, it's ok to do, but don't do it in the viv as this can make the humidity levels too high

When your beardie is in the bath and you trinkle water over his nose does he stick his tounge out at all? Lick his lips in the tub of any sort? I guess as long as he is having his baths and getting hydrated it don't matter, but i'm by far an expert on that.. lol

If you dont see a tree fall in the woods does it mean it never fell?

 

[Bellalee]

Good point.

I heard that they also drink from pores in their bottoms??

 

[TheWolfmanTom]

thru the vent belle,
its more of an absorbing than a drinking

 

[spurlee01]

yes, but telling people that your lizard drinks through her butt is just so much more entertaining

 

[Twobeardieguy]

OK ok, then yes your dragons drinks thru their butts! :lol: :wink:

So, funny story. I took my boyfriend and his roommate golfing the other day. Well, before we could go back to take them home, I told them I HAD to give Lilly a bath. So Brian's roomate is sitting there, obviously bored, and asked what the point was. I told him, she's drinking through her butt! He was actually quite interested in her bath afterwards.

lol that is so true ! my friend came over yesterday and watched me bathe MJ. She said wtf is the point, it's not like i'm bathing a dog with soap/shampoo ! And i said "oh i dont bathe for her to get clean. I bathe her so she can drink and be hydrated"
Offcourse I got :shock: :shock: :shock: looks.. lol

LOL.. I get that look when I say that too.. they all tell me "You waste electricity w/ all them lights" and "if you dont use soap why do you put that 'thing' in the tub?"

Gah, I just thank God i'm the beardie Mom and not them
