My Christmas present UPDATED with PICS! DUW

How is your beardie doing?

Your hubby sounds like a keeper, too.

He let me get by with it this time, but then he's like, "This is the last one, right? Seriously, no more after this!"

And I just say, "For the time being anyway..." He doesn't understand that I'm just a lightweight in the reptile world with my 3 dragons and 1 snake.

I just love that baby food and spoon shot! To cute!

Thanks! It is cute, but we have since figured out that it is much easier and way less messy to use a syringe!

He doesn't eat very much in a sitting, about 1-1/2 to 2 cc's. He does like the chicken better than the squash, though! But already, he feels a little heavier in my hands. He weighed 144g when I got him, but I want to wait a full week before weighing him again.

He gets the recommended dosage of liquid calcium twice a day, which he tolerates without too much fuss. He's had 3 little poops since I've had him (2 of them while I'm holding him :roll: but at least on a towel, lol). They have a funny consistency, mushy, but not runny, which I guess can be attributed to his soft diet. He doesn't go through the normal pre-poo motions my others do, so it's always a surprise when I see it after the fact! I'm getting some phoenix worms in soon. I figured they were small enough he can swallow them whole, and soft enough that swallowing whole won't hurt him.

He seems to like his baths. He just falls asleep in the water. Hopefully, the warm water is soothing to him.

Thanks for all your support. I'll keep ya posted!

That is great! Sounds as if he is improving some. But don't forget their is 100 different types of baby food out now a days, so try them all! Good luck and please do keep us posted and updated...

He's doing fine. He's loving the phoenix worms, a few at a time anyway. He bobs at me whenever I get him out, such attitude! He really loves basking and warm baths. I have a feeling he's never been warm enough. The guy that had him just had a dial therm in there, but the hood of the tank didn't have a space for a basking light, and he didn't give me any fixtures that indicated a basking light had been used, so I don't know. I think that's why he bobs at me when I get him out, because he's enjoying the warmth!

Yeah, my boyfriend said "Last one!" when I got Noxy (long story behind him). And then I brought home Kana, and he pretty much sighed and said that he couldn't be mad with me because I was doing a good thing, lol. And yeah, I'm also a lightweight. Only problem is is that I only have my apartment bedroom to keep everyone in, and its getting crowded But I wouldn't have it any other way!

What a cutie!

That first pic of him is so sad thank god you found him. Seriously how can anyone let a pet get like that he looks so torn up the poor thing. Can't wait to see updated pics from when he looks better and is feeling better.

He's doing fine. He doesn't like to eat out of the syringe, but is getting used to it and will eat more now than he did at first. I can't seem to get him to notice Phoenix worms. He ate several the first time I tried him with them, and now, either doesn't notice or doesn't care.

He's getting pretty spunky! He can shuffle around pretty good and tries to get away from me, and bobs at me when I'm trying to feed him. If I'm not poking at him with a syringe, he'll sit with me a while.

I think I have a video of his shuffle on my phone. I'll see if I can get it uploaded sometime today!
