Hi all my name is Leon, I own a Beardie spike 2months old

[Leon]

I can't tell his gender, but we have lots of fun every day when I come home I pet him give him new food and water clean the cage, but he doesn't drink water on his own, and for some reason from the beginning he doesn't like woman s my wife can't give him water in the day. What can I do so that he can drink on his own, I don't want him to get thirsty and there are nobody to give him water

Kind regards

Leon

Hi Leon, welcome to the forum. Bearded dragons don't typically drink standing water. They get hydration from the fruits and veggies that you feed them and they will sometimes drink water during their bath. So don't worry if your wife can't give him water during the day. What I tend to do is when they are in the bath I drip water on their nose and that gets them to start licking it off. I have one dragon that will look at me while she is in her tank and start licking her mouth, that's her way of telling me that she's thirsty

Your wife can try putting something of hers in his tank like a scarf or something that has her scent on it. This can help get him used to her. Also, make sure she doesn't react to him when he gets upset with her. If she flinches a lot or acts scared of him he is not going to be nice to her.

What time do you get home? They should have at least 2 hours of light and heat to digest their food before their lights go out at night.
