    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

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.
 
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. :erm: 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.:dgrin:
