Bathing

Hi, what’s recommended for a bathing pool for dragons.thanks

 

[Katronix]

I'm planning on just using a big Tupperware box I have that was a container for other Tupperware, if I can get mine to co-operate, currently it gets very aggressive if I try to handle it. Wish I knew what to do.

Anything your beardie can move around in freely with shallow water. Make sure they can't climb out of it. My beardie hates bath time for some reason, and attempts to escape any kind of bathtub.

If not for enjoyment what’s the purpose of bathing dragons. I also have a bird and she loves to bathe;daily. thanks

We used one of those dishtub things for a bit, now we just use the bathroom sink.

Don't tell my wife, but I use our kitchen side sink. I give it a good wipe down and drain it out, then use luke warm water. He can't climb up the sides of the stainless steel.

There are always dishes in our kitchen sink, that's why the bathroom.

I have a big Tupperware bin I use. I just fill it up with luke warm water, a soft brush and dragon wash. My beardie love his bath time

My beardie loves her baths, she had one today & with me topping up with hot water to keep it a good temp she was in it for over an hour Sometimes she resists when she first goes in it but if I use a small 1/4 cup measure to pour the warm water over her back she settles into it x

I use a base for an old large hamster cage that sits over my kitchen sink ~ she can get out it but doesn't tend to unless the water gets too cool & when she does she makes her way up onto the windowsill & just stares outside

When you say aggressive what do they do?

Kx

Wow so sorry to hear yours does not there bath. I just go over to his habatate and say hello bath time and he will perk up look at me and stick his tongue out and I pick him up and take him over to his bathtub then like previously said run warm over over his back and Zack settled rt in, but he loves that water over his back while he pancakes out there sometimes for 30 mins or longer. Do not ever leave him alone there always supervise.

I use a kitty litter box to bath mine in. As a treat they get the bathtub for more room to play and we wipe it out really good afterwards.

My knucklehead sits in the sink and I let the warm water run over his back. Also, its a good place if your dragon appears constipated. The water helps. Not the funnest cleanup though.

How old is your beardie? In what way is he/she aggressive?

We just use our bathtub, she seems to be fine with it.

Clyde loves anything. He likes the big bathtub at home, he swims around until he's tired and then floats or gets out and suns himself on the window ledge (I put a towel on the side that he climbs up when he's finished) and at my office, he occasionally gets to go swimming in his Barbie pool. Sometimes after I'm done showering I'll leave it running and he'll go in and get right under the spray, arch his back and enjoy the massage. He's actually my daughter's dragon but I fell in love with him and she puts up with it. When she got him less than a year ago he was skinny and scared - hadn't been handled or been in the water. Now he loves both. You just have to be patient and go slow and pretty soon he'll be begging for rides on your shoulder. I tried to upload a video of him swimming in the tub but it wouldn't let me, so here's a couple of pics instead.

I put my little guy when small in sink bathroom. Now I put him in tub. Just make sure there are no chemical cleaners in tub or sink rinse before you put in. Also clean sink and tub out when done.

I have a frill canary and she loves bathing. As soon as I place a bathing bowl with water into her cage she immediately flocks to it, and.........she baths
thanks.
