I’m feeling extremely guilty, selfish, and shameful. I’m not even 100% sure if it’s my fault, but I’m almost certain my juvenile/baby beardie (who I’ve only had for 2 weeks honestly) is sick with an RI or cold, and I’m not sure if I’ll have the opportunity to get him to a vet.
I feel like I tried so hard to make him happy and healthy. I fed him plenty of crickets, worms, and greens. I try giving him baths daily. I even bought a container for all his bugs. But maybe I just?? Didn’t do enough of something?? I feel like I got too excited and brought an animal into unsatisfactory conditions (his tank is just too small really, I think I have lighting issues & I wish he had more room to run around in) for my own selfish desires of wanting to take care of something interesting and be entertained. I’m so upset with myself; my gut is telling me I did something wrong - at the beginning I thought misting him & his tank was a good thing but now I feel like I just raised the humidity to the point of making him sick. At this point I wish I could just give him away and forget this ever happened. I don’t want him to die at all because I’ve gotten very attached to him. I apologize if this is too venty but I’m just so upset and I don’t know what to do.
