So, I’m a new beardie owner, and I decided to check kijiji after I had spent nearly three months researching and combing through this site. I saw this beautiful 3 year old beardie needing rehoming. In the add it said that she cane with everything she needed, including a weeks worth of live food for only $200. I thought it was too good to be true, but I was insanely star struck with this little girl. I conversed with the original owner asking so many questions and it all seemed to be fine. When I went to pick her up, I saw she had no calcium, no insects or greens (only pellets) heat lamp was dim, no uvb lamp, and her tank was full of ****. I asked why no crickets, and apparently they freaked the owner out. And she also hadn’t had a bath in over a year.
I was worried that she had already developed MBD and a who bunch of other issues, plus, I didn’t really have the money to go out and get her brand new everything. Regardless, I took out a loan, got her no bulbs, a thermometer, a bathtub, toothbrush for bath time , new tank, new everything. We just started out new. I ended up taking her to the vet and to my delight, she was at risk, but hadn’t developed MBD. She got a calcium shot, and started her new diet of greens, crickets and other goodies. At first she was lethargic, but never hostile. Fast forward to now, she’s an energetic, healthy, beautiful baby.
Idek guys, I feel like in some way she knows that I rescued her.
