Help help pls I have a bad rescue

[Lisafosc]

Hey great work ur doin there! Also looking forward to see how he progresses. I know it kinda diff, but i noticed you were feeding him baby food, well whilst I've been nursing a sick beardie back to health, to help him to regain some weight bck, I ground some juv dragon chow pellets up into a fine powder, in my coffee bean grinder, i add a spoonfull of the powder to 2x spoonfulls of baby food, which has worked a treat, also add the calcium or nutrobal. Another thing u could add is some acidophiluz+. One of my dragons became addicted to any type of worm but would not eat locust or dubia, after around 9 days his appetite was great and he would eat any thing that moved lol!

Good luck

Thanks everyone I have to share credit with my cousin also he is living with her we are sharing the cost and he has a tank at my house and hers since he is here so often . He is a fighter becoming very active and loves to be held. He is starting to like his salad a little more than worms or crickets but I'm hoping that he gets better at eating out of a dropper because I'm going to start making my own baby food with ground worms and all. As long as he grows we don't care I think he may be a "green" bd but it is to hard to tell with his size.

I was thinking of how to show his true size because he really is the size of a hatchling I believe. And he is just a tade longer than a cigerett lighter. but I will post pics soon my daughter broke my camra....

Be sure to search for my babies princess and chaos they have been a mess to. I think they are all worth it so I don't mind the chaos lol

I will have new pics put up tomorrow lynch is doing great. Just a tad under 6 in. Hard to believe that he should be twice that, oh well he is growing and does better every day.

 

[Danielle4]

I just thought I would give a little update and I hope to have some new pics up in a few days. Lynch is doing great he is almost 10in long now and eating more each week. I have found out that he is blind in one eye, I think it is from improper UVB light. I don't remember what the light was called but it was a large round fixture with a round ubv light and you could put a heat bulb in the center. However he is doing great now I will post some new pics this weekend. I have just been super busy with school lately.

Well I can't seem to find anymore pics right now but as of today 6/20 he is near 9 3/4in. He is growing like a weed :lol: He has been a huge challenge we are still feeding him 3 times a day. He does not really eat anything but wax worms and a few crickets, loves carrots and greens. I will take some more pics this week and get them up. I will try to keep up on the post now that schools is slowing down a little. Please check out my other post about Princess and Chaos that I will be adding new pics tonight too. Thanks everyone

Can you find Lynch?

 

[Danielle4]

Just wanted to update again... Lynch is about to do another full body shed he is growing like crazy he just shed his whole body a few weeks ago. I could not be happier he has become a big snuggle baby too I will measure him after his shed today he was just shy of 10in and he will be a year old the end of Aug I believe (best guess from what the pet store told his first owner)

Thanks everyone for checking up on him, he has been hard work but it is worth it seeing him grow and become very active.

 

[lauraj1055]

So glad that he is growing! He is definately getting bigger.. Such a cutie. Keep up the good work !

 

[Danielle4]

Well a little update for everyone Lynch is no longer "she" is Now going to be known as Nila . I know I was shocked to find out that she had a period of 6 weeks where she shed 2 times and then just the tip of her tail. Then cutting her nails one day I looked and what do you know she is a girl.

She is doing great eating good, loves to run around her tank and snuggle at any point in the day. I will get some new pics up soon my cousin went to TN for a few weeks and took her down there with her. I know she shed again when she got down there I could not be happier with her growth compared to when we got her.

Hope everyone is ready for school to start I have one going into kindergarten and one going into 2nd

Thanks to everyone who reads this i miss my lil girl but she will be back in a few days . I guess she loves the TN weather. I'm trying to get another bd this weekend off craigs list. Guy says he is healthy year in a half old but is still in a 10 gallon tank???? Makes me want to slap the crap out out of people. Never had a UV light. Not sure about feeding yet I'm trying to stay "calm" bc I want to help this lil guy. I just don't have the $100 he is asking for it so I'm gonna try to talk him down when I Nicely explain that he is a ***** and should have done research.

But anyways new pics of nila coming as soon as she is back home
