Sunken Eyes

[Razzio]

Hey everyone, I'm new to this forum, I bought my first bearded dragon a couple weeks ago. At 3, almost 4 months, he/she's been super active and friendly, eating well, mostly crickets and some dark greens. My set up is a 20 gallon tank (soon to be larger), with a 100w basking light and a uvb on the cool side. The humidity just above 30%, a bit high but not bad.

Ive noticed the last couple days the my beardie seems to have slightly sunken eyes. I was wondering if it would be dehydration. Ive been misting a couple times a day and have given him a few baths. Today was the first time I saw him drink in the tub. I was just wondering if you all thought his eyes looked sunken as well and what may be going on?

I think his eyes look fine. If you are worried about hydration, give him a daily bath so he has the chance to drink. Alternately, you can teach him to drink from a dropper or spray bottle.

Hello,

I agree, his eyes appear fine to me also. They don't look sunken in, but you can bathe daily & give oral fluids with a plastic dropper or syringe if you feel he needs it.
He is a little cutie pie also, very sweet face.
That is great he is eating some greens now also.

Okay, great, thanks for the advice! I love giving him a bath and he's started to really like it himself, so there will be plenty of baths to come
