I did a bit of research before getting him, but thanks for making sure. I had been considering getting a beardie for a while, and just couldn't resist when I saw this little guy. He may be too young though... He's 5 days old, but I was told he was eating fine when I purchased him, but I haven't really seen him eat much since we got him. I don't know if that may just be that he's still adjusting to the new environment. He does have paper towels on the bottom of his cage. He is pretty active, usually sprinting around his cage. He also licks just about everything in his cage. Is this normal? I took him out earlier today and let him soak in some warm water, he relaxed right away and seemed to enjoy it. He didn't drink any water while he was soaking, but did drink some water drops off of my hand when I picked him up to put him back in his cage. I've heard a couple of different things and wanted to double check... Should I give him a water dish or should I just mist him a couple of times a day?



I put a tiny silk worm in there just before I left, so hopefully he finds it. I still see crickets in his cage though. I'm just worried that maybe he was too young or that he isnt in the best health.
