Petsmart...
I was simply going to get Fredericka some crickets. And of course naturally I come over to the beardie cage, people were looking at one of the lizards so you know, I smile and wave and then turn to look at the beardies... Ones probably dead, and the rest look sick! They had veggies that were bigger than their bodies!!
The pellets they had look like they would become lodged in their tiny throats. Not to mention they were 3 inches, and they had woodchips in their hide... No live food... One came up to me and started glass dancing like "Please get me out of here."
And then a bigger one came over with gorgeous orange highlights on his back and watched the smaller one as he got stuck between the wall and water dish,
his little stomach was pushing in so much from being stuck I was sure he was going to die there.
while he was stuck I leaned over to my mom and was about to say, "go get a employee I'm taking this one home." Then he got unstuck... I wasn't able to take him home because of how little space we have and all the animals. But trust me, I would of just grabbed him from that horrible place, figure out how to fit his tank in my room and get all of his supplies. Sadly I have no space and definitely not enough money. I hope that little guy is in a better home now.
They were so skinny too! I was about to go find hte manager and demand he give me all of those beardies. Even the possibly dead one, I was staring at his small and fragile body for at least 5 mins, trying to see if he would breath or not. His breaths were so far apart, at least 15 seconds apart. And he was breathing really shallow.
I hope he's okay now.
