Hi everyone! Both my boyfriend (Pete) and I (Lei) are new to this site. We live in Upstate NY and also own a 4yr old rabbit (Bun Diesel) and a 14yr old cat (Pi).
In December we adoped a year old bearded dragon from a local pet store after falling in love with him immedietly. We named him Alfred Pennyworth (Alphie for short) and he was amazingly loving and took to us instantly. We spoil our animals and he was no different - we were completly new to this but read everything we could and gave him the best. Unfortunately he unexpectly passed away on Mothers Day (in our arms) and it devistated us.
OUR ALPHIE
We learned the hard way that caring for a Bearded Dragon requires you to become your own expert. By the time we realized what the pet store told us was wrong and a dumb vet we first took him to turned out to suck big time (we have since found a GREAT one), and that a lot of his problems most likely were from before we adopted him - it was too late. But in that experience we found that we couldn't live without them!
So on May 25th, we adopted two baby bearded dragons from Pet Smart....well they kinda picked us too lol. As we were looking for the healthiest of the bunch, these two came flying down to the glass and danced in front of us like PICK ME PICK ME!!!
I tried to measure them a week ago (about 7-8inches long very tiny) but they were very jumpy. At this point they seem adjusted enough to us and their own cages that we should be able to try and measure them again this week and weigh them.
We are not sure of the gender (maybe you can help us lol) - but WE THINK the one on the left in the first picture (the greener one) is the male. Only cause it is slightly bigger than the other one and showed dominance (not agressiveness) over the other one before we seperated them (as seen in the second picture lol)
This one we believe is a female - shes smaller and waved a lot when the two were together. Not that it means anything but she just looks like a she to me lol.
We have not named them yet because we are not sure of the gender but they are just so sweet and a great addition to our family!
More pics soon! We love our babies!!!! Any advice on raising babies are very welcomed!!! We want nothing but the best for them!
