My Beardie Pepe has never drank water. I give him a bath about every three weeks and he doen't even drink then. He is perfectly healthy. Does anyone else have a beardie that never drinks or has never drank?

I haven't seen Telamon drink water since he was 5 months old - and I only saw him drink twice. I finally just removed his water dish (he's 2 yrs old now) because all he does is throw his litter in it.

Great. I am glad to here mine isn't the only one....I know he gets all the H2O he need sfrom his veggies but wanted to know if someone else had a beardie that didn't drink. I took his water bowl out 2 years ago too. Thanks for your reply.

i just took the water bowl out my bardies enclosure, he never drank from it and used to use it as a toilet.
he gets a lot from veg and i drip water on the tip of his head and he laps it up if he is thirsty

hi
mist him and end up with dropping on his nose by slowly push in the mist sprayer.
most of the time they start to drink it take most of time a 1,2 min before the water pour trough his lips and then he most of time wil start to drink and lower his head r even make his body width.
byeeeeeee

My beardie never drinks water either-she's about 2 years old and perfectly healthy. There's a water dish but she just likes to lay in it sometimes and smear the water all over the newspaper...no drinking.

She gets plenty of water from vegies...I make certain they are moist when I put them in (when I rinse them I don't shake them too dry).

I haven't seen my dragon drink in over 2 years. When he was younger he would drink when I misted him or gave him a bath, but he doesn't do that anymore either. It's possible that they may be able to absorb water through their skin when you give them a bath. So giving them a bath is still a good idea, even if they don't drink.
