Greetings,
I'm here again to introduce Bronx, my new baby beardie. Supposedly he's 6 month old, but I think he's way too small to be 6 month old.
Story time: prior to adopt/rehome Tad Cooper (meet him here https://www.beardeddragon.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=44&t=241849 ) I was going to get Bronx in our local PetsCorner store and I saw him grow since February, felt in love with him and in the end I decided to get him either way. He has EVERYTHING he needs.
But I do have doubts about his age and let me explain why: at the store they gave me a birth certificate that says he was born at 23.10.17, making him 6 months, but I think he looks WAY too small and skinny for a 6 month old berdie according what I research.
So I have 3 theories:
1) The pet store lied about his birth and age.
2) The breeder lied about his birth and age.
3) That birth date is from when his egg was lay, making him now 3 month old and they didn't explain that to us, saying that he's 6 months old (I think this one is the correct).
4) We was not been fed properly at the store, they actually said to me that they would only feed him livefood 3 times a week, been once he only ate 1 large locustus and spend 4 days without bugs, and they even advise me NOT to feed him livefood for the next 3 days.
I found this WAY to sketchy because for my research, baby and juveniles need livefood everyday till they 1y old. I'm now giving him dusted livefood + salad daily with juvenile booster.
Oh! They also said that he was handled and tamed, which he's obviously not, and they thought it was a female, but could either be male. Bronx is male, I already confirmed it (we can clearly see the two bulges getting appart). So... yeah!
Here's some pictures of him and tell me what you think?! By the way, I can't keep the humidity below 50% at night, and I tried EVERYTHING
I LOVE HIM SO MUCH <3 I already had 7 love bites :lol:
