Hi, My Beardie Norbert has sunken eyes. I know that probably means he’s dehydrated, but I need ideas on how to get him water. He hates baths, and he won’t drink out of his water bowl. If you guys have any ideas please tell me.
Oh that’s a good idea, don’t know why I thought of that.
Yeah his urate is dry and chalky looking, it crushed easily. Also, sorry for asking this but how do I post a picture here, this is the first time I’ve tried too.
https://www.beardeddragon.org/useruploads/ click on XIMG at the top of the message box then click on the pic it should post --- try dropping water on his nose to see if he will lick -- you can also syringe feed but you must do it very slowly so he does not aspirate - go in on the side of his mouth and slowly administer - let him swallow what you put in - then add more

Is the pic fresh or was it sitting in the tank under the basking lights for a while ? Try feeding the salads rinsed and see if it makes a difference -
