Bathing!

Last topic for now how often should I give him baths??

At least once a week. More if they are shedding.

No shedding yet, what's the best way to bath him like any products I should have? Petsmart didn't really give me any info

Water works good. Plain unadulterated water. Actually it's more like soaking. Some beardies like it some don't. Introduce him slowly. Don't make it too deep not pass the shoulders. On the warm side but not hot. Five or 10 minutes. More if he likes it

Yes, just plain water. When Luci seems a little nervous to be in the bath I will let him old on to my finger to give him some security. When Dexter was small I had an resin fishtank decoration that I would put in with her and she could climb out of the water if she got to scared.

Thank you great idea! This forum is a big help !

Just make sure you dry them off real good afterwards so they don't catch a draft. I make sure that I very gently wipe the area around their ears so water doesn't sit in get in there.

Great advice in this thread! Good work @PatsyB and @Canicke !!

My beardie has always hated baths and the only way I can get her to actually enjoy one is if I'm in there with her. Mind you it is a good bonding experience and she seems to really like them now
