Tenants left behind their VERY thin girl... HELP!

[sweetiepie9]

I just checked out Jade's pictures and I really think it's the light colours that can cause the dehydration. If you think she's getting dehydrated (and hard urates are the best clue) then give her baths daily and feed her water if she'll take it. I know she has a great appetite so gets water through her bugs and salad, but still, the light coloured dragons seem to have more trouble that way. I have 4 darker coloured dragons that don't seem to have the same issue, strange, eh?

When I first got her she would drink straight water - but now she wont drink it... she just swims and chills in the bath. I know Golly will bathe himself if I give him a water bowl in his viv. but Jade wont touch the water dish.

I will increase her baths and see how she does with that - I hope thats what it fixes it.

As always, thanks for all the help and suggestions.
