Answer :

answer:Sounds like you looking after your dragon beautifully. How did the bathing turn out? Its true they do take a little while to settle in. I have heard of no pooping for three days at this time. At three days though you should definitely seek a vet! I have read its good to have a shallow bowl of water available for babies in the tank as well as misting and you should offer babies food three times a day with fruit and vegies. Release the prey one at a time so the baby wont feel overwhelmed and enjoy the chase. Also if you approach a dragon from above and not the side it can make them suddenly nervous as predators attack from above in the wild. Bathing seems to vary from every other day to once a week. Every other day seems to be a way of training the baby to poop in the water and not in the tank. I have read that you can use olive oil, mineral oil or puree of pumpkin or apple sauce with a gentle tummy massage (downward toward the vent) as a laxative if you feel hard lumps in their gut which usually means an impaction, because you have a baby dragon though it might be best to just see a vet. They are very delicate. Or just ask an internet vet to put your fears to rest. I can see you know that the correct heating is very important to the digestion of Bearded Dragons, so also is washing your hands before contact very important You might want to introduce some play time into the routine, they like routine. Here is a link. This will help you make friends quickly and any activity is also good for digestion. http://www.ehow.co.uk/how_7694902_play-baby-bearded-dragon.html Good luck. I hope this helped. They really are beautiful creatures with a lovely nature.
