Bath Time for Boo

maxwells Aug 14, 2003 01:45 PM

hello... i have a juvinile beardie named Boo. seems Boo hates bathing. really hates it. tried all kinds of things, but it ain't happening.

so! here's the question. what's the best way of getting the little bugger clean? he *loves* to drag every bit of him thru poop. tail, feet, whatever. we try really hard to pick the poops up asap, but you just can't be a dragon sitter for a living!

what is a good solution for a non-bathing beauty? baby wipes? i have some left from camping, so i can give that a try. any other options?

you can hold him in your palm, and let the water run over his body, usually even those who hate bathing will tolerate this for a few minuites, scrubbing softly with a soft toothbrush can help get all the yuck off him too
