So I've had a bearded dragon for about a month and a week now. Her name is Ozzy and she's been fantastic. She became fond of me almost immediately, she likes to come and sit on my lap, and she's given no issues when it comes to eating, pooping, sleeping or bathing!
Things have been shaken up though this week as my girlfriend bought me another little bearded dragon. He's a problematic little one! His name is Biffy and well, he's got some issues.
The little dude is about 7 months old, and seriously under-sized. He's only 3 inches long from head to tail. Though he is missing half his tail! but that still only puts him at about 4 1/2 inches at 7 months old.
Also Biffy isn't really eating, I think this may be due to relocation stress, though it wasn't a problem I had with Ozzy.
He also spends a lot of his time with a completely black belly, and hiding a way trying to sleep.
(A little history) Biffy was actually my first dragon but he got sick the same day I got him, he was unable to move or put his head down. So I took him to a woman who nurses beardies back to health. Kym (My girlfriend) went out and got Biffy back when she heard he had recovered.
So yeah.. a little advice on this little beardie situation.
As for the rant section.. I'm too lazy to go into detail but in short... spent 56.99 euro on an Exo-Terra light fitting for my reptisun 10.0 UVB. The thing broke after 30 mins. Not impressed!
So yeah, advice?
Thank you!
