Grumpy new adoptee - Help!

[jberntsenr]

I am estimating roughly a foot from nose to end of tail but he is definitely smaller than the.full grown beardies I have seen. He is eating alot more than the previous owners said they fed him so he may be making up for lost time. I hope he starts to trust us soon!

That is pretty small. : ( are you sure his age is correct. And don't worry he will msot likely grow through a different spurt.

And trust will come with time, and lots of love!!

His previous parents got him as a hatchling. The pet store said either he was inserted or he is a she...but even then, he/she is small.

He was all flared again this morning. We are moving him off the floor tomorrow and I really hope this improves his mood!

We just got home and checked on Spike. He is starting to shed like crazy! His tail is starting to peal and his back has an inch of skin off already! I am hoping this is why he has been grumpy this week....we are still moving him off the floor and across the room so he is not so startled when we come into his room....

That was probably a huge part of his tude lol!


Puff can even get a bit grumpy when it comes to shedding. It must feel so itchy!

Well, took the beardie to the vet and "he" is a "she"! She is a normal size and is about full grown and very healthy

We moved her cage so she can see us coming in and she is much calmer. We are working on building a table so we do not look so scary to her. Also scrubbed everything in her cage and put in a hiding cave for her. She is already snuggled up in it for the night.

Her name is now Cora.

Ah, lovely name! Not to be pushy or anything, :wink: but have you taken any pictures of her yet? Surely you wouldn't miss an opportunity for us to oooh and aaah over Cora, would you? :wink: :wink:
