Hey everyone,

You may remember that I rescued a beardie (named Poppy) in February. She's doing great! She's now 17 inches long and around 320 grams, and has no known health issues :D

On Sunday afternoon, I got two new rescues - a 6 month old and a 2 month old. They both appear to be girls. They were housed together at their previous home, and there were several other husbandry things that I did not agree with that I've now fixed. They are now housed separately, as there is a significant size difference between the two.

Please meet Jane ("Janie") and Rosalie ("Rosie")! (Please note Rosie giving the camera attitude :lol: )


Jane is the 6 month old, and she's on the small side at a little under 12 inches and 105 grams. I'm not too worried about Jane, as Poppy was smaller at 10 months, and is now healthy and a normal size. Rosalie is about 5.25 inches (she has a tail nip) and 15 grams, and she's my first "baby" beardie. Jane has moved into Poppy's old 55 gallon (Poppy is now in a 4'x2'x18" Critter Condo), and Rosie is in the 40 gallon tank that came with them. They are both eating well (they're even eating a few bites of salad!), and moving around their tanks. They are both still stressed, and Jane still hasn't gone potty, but they both seem to be healthy!

Now for pictures!

8/25 Jane - she actually stayed like this all night :lol: You can tell by looking at her feet that she was on red sand.

8/26 Jane - she had just eaten, and she was sitting very awkwardly

Thanks Esther! :D I'm not sure if they're staying permanently yet, but I'll have them for at least a month or so to make sure they're healthy before maybe looking for a good home. (I say that now, but I know that in a month, I'll be really attached :wink: )

I feel like such a slacker for not posting an update on Jane and Rosie for so long! :oops:

They're both doing well. Jane is almost 16 inches and around 300 grams as of a week ago, and Rosie is 10 inches and around 100 grams (she's growing slowly but steadily, and her fecal exam came back clean). Considering Rosie's weight, I think she'd be over 12 inches if she didn't have her tail nip. I just found out this week that Jane has pinworms. I have ordered medication for her and it should be here Friday, so hopefully she'll be parasite-free in a few weeks.

Here are a few recent pictures. The pumpkin ones are from a few days after Halloween, and the others are from this past weekend.

Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.
