HI ALL, I WANT TO TALK ABOUT WATER DISHES AND HATCHLINGS. I ALWAYS ERR ON THE SIDE OF CAUTION WITH HATCHLINGS AND IT IS ON THE CARE SHEET ABOUT NOT PUTTING A WATER DISH IN THE HOUSE IF YOU ARE OUT ALL DAY .UNFORTUNATELY MY ADVICE IS NOT ALWAYS USED AND A HATCHLING HAS SADLY BECOME ILL BECAUSE A WATER DISH WAS PUT IN WHILST THE OWNERS ARE AT WORK MOST OF THE DAY!! I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH ABOUT THIS. I KNOW NEW OWNERS DO NOT HAVE TO DO EXACTLY AS I SAY BUT WHEN LETTING A HATCHLING GO TO A NEW HOME I HAVE TO KNOW I HAVE GIVEN THE BEST ADVICE FROM MANY YEARS OF EXPERIENCE. HATCHLINGS LIKE TO SIT IN A WATER DISH AND DO NOT REALISE WHEN DOZING OFF THEY CAN VERY QUICKLY GET PNEUMONIA ! WHICH IS THEN EXTREMLEY HARD TO TREAT IN ONE SO SMALL. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE IF YOU HAVE A HATCHLING AND YOU ARE OUT DURING THE DAY AND DO HAVE A WATER DISH IN THE HOUSE *TAKE IT OUT* YOU CAN PUT IT IN OVER THE WEEKEND WHILST YOU ARE HOME IF YOU WISH BUT IF A HATCHLING IS THIRSY IT WILL DRINK WHEN YOU BATH IT...SO IT DOES NOT NEED A WATER DISH AT ALL OK..
