Baby beardie ?

I recently had a clutch of healthy baby beardies, there only one issue I have a slight concern about. I mist the walls twice a day and keep a small dish with a small amount of water as well. I havent seen any drink yet so I just wanna make sure I do my best to keep them hydrated. Any suggestions or prefered methods would be great!



Thanks Guys

Put em in the sink. About 1 inch of warm water should be fine. Make sure you don't have too many in there at the same time (6 tops) or they will climb on each other and drown the ones underneath. NEVER walk away!!!!! You will come back to dead babies that drowned each other. They will usually start to drink the water. If not I just use my finger tip to dunk there little noggins under water for a sec until they realize "Hey it's water!!!!"
Just be very careful to keep watch at all times. Some times they put there whole head under water to drink and forget to come up for breath.

They are only a week old tops, is it ok to start doing that now?

My babies were born on 6/26 and have had 3 baths already.

Yes, it is ok.

I do exactly the same. I find that if I leave the faucet to where it drips every couple of seconds they notice the water as it ripples.

Oops, I can't believe I left that part out. Yes, let the water drip slowly so it grabs the attention of the babies. It's funny to watch them all crowd around the dripping. Look like little piglets at a troff. Lol

Hahaha. Yeah, they are great fun to watch. Even at feeding time it is like you rang a dinnerbell or something. I can't wait till my other eggs hatch. Gonna have some leucistics being laid soon as well as some more of my red/gold GG. I love baby beardies.
