Poor Howie looks so skinny! Nothing worse than a skinny beardie.

Those poor babies look like they were really badly neglected. Luckily there are beardie angels like you around to rescue them and give them love and nurse them to health. :love5:

well Twinkie has gained 22 grams(376g) in the week he has been with us Howie is getting stronger and becoming more active, espesially when he see's one of the girls(horn dog :mrgreen: ). But he's not eating live prey or his greens . We have him on jump start, which he likes so much he bit the end off the applicator, but it past this morning. He has put on about 6 grams(366g) in 5 days and he is pooping daily. And he loves to soak in the sink (2x a day). Precious is just that, precious. She eats live prey, basks, poops daily and is very active.She weight in at 387 grams today. I pretty sure she was the dominate one. When she hears water running she comes right up to her glass, she loves bath time . I don't think Howie or Precious had ever had bath's, but they both love being brushed with a soft tooth brush will soaking

Thank you for taking in those beardies. Precious looks like she'd been severely neglected. Poor girl.
I definitely will be praying for all three of them. Keep us posted on their progress.

Hello Gina, lol are you following me?!! :lol:

Poor Howie looks so skinny! Nothing worse than a skinny beardie.

Howie is doing better. We're giving him Jump Start, and gently inserting (force feeding just sounds to harsh) dubia nymph's between his cheek and gum (think chewing tabacco) , then he will chew them up. This is done 3x a day, all in the sink with him soaking. With his 1st feeding of the day he also gets Reptaid, acidopholiz+, and B complex vitamins. Every nymph he gets(only eats about 20, 1/4") is dusted with calcium w/o D3 as he has a Mega Ray SB100. He even pooped 2x today he walked all around his enclosure, then went to sleep in his hide tonight, 1st time in the week we've had him

Thank you to everyone that has rescued and posted about it, I've been reading :study: so much my eye's hurt, but it's worth it, I've learned so much

 

[herpfreak]

Aww, no wonder he's doing so well! He has a great slave.

 

[LQDragons]

well Howie is coming along, eating crix & fine chopped greens, hand fed only. He's gaining weight & strength, head bobbing & glass dancing. He's even going to shed

and Precious, she is doing good. Eating and being very active. She loves her pool time

 

[Jasper's Mom]

Wow, they're coming right along, aren't they? They look like real beardies now. You're doing a great job! :mrgreen:

 

[herpfreak]

Looking good! Howie has a dark beard. Tell him I think he looks very scary.

 

[Freeie]

Oh wow they are looking awsome! I want one of those kiddy pools too. They would make bathing in the summer so fun!

 

[Krisymof2]

They look great! I live in S.FL and have one of those pools too, aren't they great. How's Twinkie doing?
