Bearded dragon lover

For spring break I left to go somewhere and my mom watched my dragon. I knew he would be fine but would not eat or drink much, because he only eats when I'm around and gets anxious if i'm not. I usually drip water from his nose but I wasn't going to make my mom do that, so she just ended up putting a bowl of water. I don't think he ever drank from the bowl. I came back and picked him up from his basking spot put him on the ground right next to a bowl of water and he started drinking. I don't know if hes lazy or what not, but he only eats veggies if I bring the bowl to him and move the veggies with my fingers, and then he starts chopping down. Same thing goes for water. I usually drip water on his nose but if I place a bowl of water far away from him he just forgets about it which is what happened when I was gone. It was clear he was very very thirsty.
