unfortunately though, his right eye is still looking rather rough and gunking up, and he’s still keeping that one closed for most of the time. I’ve been gently cleaning it and giving the antibiotic eye drops as usual, I just haven’t been able to give him the diluted raw honey yet (been very very...
New update, Lucky is now EATING ON HIS OWN!!!! He’s regularly keeping both eyes open well and tried dubia roaches for the first time today and loved them!! He had quite a lot of fun hunting them down and it was really heartwarming to see :))
We ordered some XS dubia that should arrive any day now, I’m excited to see if He will eat them on his own! And yes, I do have some spare CHEs that I guess I could turn on at night? But the CHEs will still get the temps up to like 90 or so. What temperature would you recommend I use for him at...
He’s not trans as far as I can tell, thankfully. the photos just have bad lighting, but he does have regular colored eyes. I already have one rescue trans beardie who is a bit of a mess of neurological issues due to his fancy poorly bred genes, so I’m thankful this guy doesn’t have the...
Sounds good! Also GUYSSSS great news, he just started opening one of his eyes multiple times and looking around! I picked him up to check on him as well as start giving him his meds and he opened his left eye and glared at me, and has started doing that multiple times now in the last few...
I’ll do my best to watch the temps as much as possible. I constantly have 3 fans going on in my room to keep it more manageable, but I have been checking his temps regularly. At the hottest point in his tank which is his higher basking spot it’s about 108 at most. Which should be fine right? I...
Yeah, he’s still a bit thin (you can really see it when his legs/arms are stretched out more) but overall he’s looking a million times better than when I first got him. His eye has also stopped bleeding anytime I give him eye drops and overall appears to be looking cleaner. Still not opening...
He’s doing alright! Just chilling and basking today, he’s also been getting better at taking meds/food often. And don’t worry, his tank pretty much never goes below 80 because my room is a sauna, so keeping him warmer is no problem :)
Yeah I’m still in disbelief over how someone could do this to him, it’s horrible :(
And yeah he is really pale, he’s definitely a hypo though as he has the signature hypo clear nails, but even for a hypo, he’s still pale.
And yeah, I definitely think lights are a bit overwhelming for him...
Thank you! How many times a day and how many CCs of water and critical care food should I be doing? I’ve just been doing about 0.5 CCs for each once a day, I may do twice a day (morning, evening) but I’m just trying to take things slow with him.
I’ll try the honey trick today and see how that...
I tried that a few times, yes. However it didn’t seem to do a whole bunch, so I’ll try the honey trick tonight.
He’s been taking his food and meds pretty well and drinking from a syringe (I let him just lick off the droplets)
Also good news he’s gained 2 grams since the day I got him! Small...
Indeed, people are terrible. This poor kiddo has had a terrible start to life :( When I found the FB post about him I felt so bad about him I stayed up all night thinking about it, wondering if I could take him in or not, I’m glad I ultimately decided I did.
And no, the syringe doesn’t have a...
Hey guys! I know it’s been a while since I’ve visited this site, but I’ve had an unexpected turn of events. For some context, on Tuesday night I found a Facebook post about a landlord who had discovered a baby beardie that was abandoned in a trailer that their tenets just left behind. They...
That is my guess so far, I’ll be rearranging his enclosure to be safer this evening. He didn’t have an impaction if I can remember correctly, he’s gone through like 3-4 previous homes, so I don’t know much about his history, but in his previous home that I got him from, He wasn’t on a loose...
That would be my assumption as well, he has a vet appointment Monday morning to get it checked and I will be keeping a close eye on him in the meantime. I dropped off a fresh fecal sample to them today too. I’m hoping it’ll be an easy fix.
And thank you! This little guy is decently one of the...
