    I feed mine greens that I spray with water. When he eats he gets the moisture from the greens and veggies as well as the water I sprayed them with.

    They don't usually drink from standing water (ie: in a bowl) but will often drink from their bath water when soaked. When I had a beardie, I never had a water bowl in the tank...but always sprayed his veggies down with water, as well as giving him a good "shower" once a day. He loved his showers.

    I have a lot of experience with beardies and I will the same as listed above. Spray his face too so the water runs down his nose and he licks it off.. You can always force fed him water thru a syringe. It's a pin but it works in emergencies.

    All well stated ways to get them to drink...I'd keep the baths a regular activity, make sure the greens are spritzed well, possibly spritz him in the cage and when in the bath let water drip near their mouth and sometimes they'll drink the drops...My girl did that today during her bath and then started drinking the water, because my drips were too slow... :( :D
