I couldn't say no. I got these pictures of a bearded dragon needing a home. He's 4, and according to what I've been told doesn't eat veggies, is 13 inches long, clearly has MBD and was 'treated' a year ago for 'vitamin c deficiancy' but he's 'done with those meds' and is in a 20 gallon tank.
I couldn't say no.
Am I prepared to take a beardie that is in this state and needs a whole new set up and critical care and vet care and lots of time and work? Umm.. no. Will I make it work?
Too late now not to!
Racing to find a vet and supplies now.
Please tell me I'm not the only bleeding heart? Just look at this poor little guy!
I pick him up Saturday, but I swear I want to come save him tonight! :'(
EDIT: I have a vet lined up, but I'm not going to be able to find a better tank for him immediatly. Any tips on what to do there? Would a tupperware bin be better than this, or clean the living daylights out of this one and leave him in it for now? Will pick up plain pedialite and critical care before I get him and start him on fluids immediatly. Any other tips? I'm feeling a little in over my head.
