Hello fellow BD lovers!
3 days ago, we lost our 1 year old bearded dragon outside. MY younger brothers were playing outside in the sun and asked me if they could take our beloved family pet outside. As always I said yes. They had friends over and wanted to show off Stellar. This is a usual occurrence in our house hold, so I did not think much of it. I was inside studying for a test, when my 11 year old brother came running inside yelling for me. I ran outside and there was not Stellar to be found. Turns out they had got distracted by something and of course, forgot to put his harness on. We have a forest behind our house with MANY places to hide and our backyard is huge! It started raining today and because I live in Canada, it is not exactly the warmest! Last night it dropped to 42 degrees and then back up to 70 degrees during the day! I can't believe this is happening to my helpless BD...I set up a heat lamp outside in the middle of our yard as well as a few sites for mealworms, crickets, waxworms ect. I have not slept in DAYS worrying about my poor baby who is probably waiting for us to find him! Stellar is a huge part of my life and I would hate to lose him over a little kids mistake! I understand it is my fault for not supervising my brothers and most of you may call me an irresponsible BD owner, but this was not our first time! He never runs away like this (but normally he has a harness)! I don't know what to do! I have searched high and low; I have even walked around with a flashlight in the middle of the night. I have braved the spiders, and walked the forest at night! HE is NOWHEWRE to be found! I can't sleep, or even have fun as my stomach is twisting for my poor little guy!
Please, all I need right now is support!
Thanks,
Stellar's very concerned momma
