Water to the shoulders, either a cloth or your hand under for traction, water temp (in F not C) 90-100*, length of time in bath- 15-20 minutes.

Janie summed it up.

Yes, baths help the shedding process and offer a bit of relief from the itchies, but baths are also good for hydrating your beardie. For beardies under 6 months, I recommend daily baths. Older beardies can go once a week.

Yes, your sink is fine. Make sure you disinfect it when finished.

Excellent. Keep at it. He'll get used to it and love it. You'll also learn how to gauge the water temp to his liking.
