Yes I do believe she will walk again. She is already moving her right left leg and helping to propel herself After she ate and had a bath today I put her on the wood floor of the rescue room and came back about 5 minutes later and she was about 1-1/2 feet away from where I put her. She is...
Yes it really is just like Deb's boys, lol @ the ramp, you are so right. The same treatment happens for whoever is on that bean bag. And just try to pick one up off it and put them back. It's like you were taking them to their death. :P :lol:
Thanks! He is doing well but there isn't a thing I can do to get him over 302 grams. I mean that is his limit...he seems so small. Even Rocky is fatter than Smurf, but I think that is just how he is. :)
She has so much personality...! It is like she still wants to be a baby, but she's so big. 650 grams, are you kidding me...? LOL!!! I think she got bigger than Ginger, but I'd have to check. It's a close race - I think you won. WOW. I've got to see a pic, even if you just post it here...
Jose was the real hero here for sure. I'm just giving her a place to crash. :oops: :D She's really easy to care for, much easier than any other rescue I have taken in. I am very lucky in that respect!
It's hard to know when to shut the lights off on them. I've kept Papa's lights on but covered him for a few days at a time with fleece. He never fully sleeps hard like the others, and I'd raise the fleece and if he opened his eyes I'd remove it and let him wake up. Brumation is weird and they...
Mini-brumating...? Yes sometimes they do that, and then other dragons just go into it like a bear and don't wake up for months. It's so weird! The mini-brumation is nerve racking in one way, but also interesting behavior. Papa has been doing the same thing, but I have to let him. His...
Papa Smurf still has a cute face...! He has brumated a few days at a time here and there, but mostly been awake for the winter, just a little slowed down. He's doing really great now, eating all his feeders on his own, even chasing crickets. I still hand feed him silkworms from time to time...
I just saw this thread today! Jose was this dragon's savior, buying her so she could have a better life. She deserves it...! She's so sweet and easy to care for. She had been extremely subdued and quiet for the first week, not quite depressed but definitely resigned to her fate. Then she...
Thanks! I really do love these guys so much. Smurf has a pretty good story so far and he really does enjoy his life. Next month it will be a year since we got him! Hard to believe a year has passed. While he doesn't look like a perfectly rehabilitated fat dragon, he looks as good as I can...
I don't think it will hurt her. We've known people whose dragons have eaten chocolate and been just fine. You can always be the worried mama and encourage it to pass by giving and oil/apple sauce mix or some canned pumpkin, or even just a little olive oil in a syringe, it could 'ease' it...
Penelope, I enjoyed all of your pictures and I am glad you posted quite a few since it has been a while since I have seen so many of Queen. She looks good, and happy. :) You are so right, Tyrant looked really bad in his last days. Sometimes you don't really see the full picture of a...
