i have a baby beardie, whats the best way to get im to drink. I have a dish and i try spray him to see if he would drink but he doesnt seem to like that too much. I dunno what the best way is to teach him to get his source of water./

When mine were babies I gave them a bath every other day and they drank while in it. Use warm water in a bowl(test the water on yourself to make sure it isnt too hot!) or something big enough for them to fit comfortably in and fill it to about the middle of their body.

Mine now both drink out of a dish in their cages. But I still do bath them once every week or so.

Up until at 6 months of age, I mist baby bearded dragons twice daily. After 6 months, I supply a water bowl, not deep enough to do any harm, and give them a bath twice a week.

Mine get all the water they need from their salads. I wash the greens before feeding, and leave them quite damp, then spray them later on in the day ( greens that is ).

Only 1 out of 4 of my dragons will drink from a bowl.

Misting them while they are young is a good idea.
Mine love their baths.
