My beardies won't drink out of a bowl. I mist the juvi every other day, and give him soaks in the bath on the opposite days. My adult hates misting, so I try to just give him a quick soak daily. He hates that too. lol

I never see them drink when they are misted or bathing, so I assume they get most of their fluids from the foods they eat. Still I think the bathing and misting helps a little w/ hydration, and is good for their skin when it's time to shed.

We mist our babies daily. Once they are about 3 monyhs old we mist 3-4 times a week. Soaking them occasionally. Check your email.
