So my hubby and I and his friend were out running errands earlier this evening and my last stop was the local Pet Warehouse (as my shipment of crickets didnt come this week because of the holiday) so I needed to get some crickets cuz my beardies were HUNGRY lol. Well while the girl was getting my crickets hubby and I were looking at all the animals. We get to the beardies and I got sick to my stomach. There in the cage on the bottom of the tank IN THE SAND was a beardie all black and laying next to a sandy puddle of puke!!!!!!!!!!! I said to the guy down the aisle " SIr something is seriously wrong with your beardie" He comes and looks and says oh hes fine and walked away. I thought my hubby was gonna go hit the guy!!! I ran over to the girl who was getting my crickets and saidf something is wrong with this beardie. She came over and opened the cage and grabbed him out and I grabbed him out of her hand. He was freezing, and lifeless and limp!!!!!!!!!!! The girl says he was fine this morning and got weaker this afternoon and another girl shoved a dropper in his mouth and squirted Jump Start into him. Then she goes on to say how this beardie can not walk only crawl as his front legs have given out and his back legs were starting to do the same. He has no muscle tone whatsoever in any of his limbs. I said how much do you want for him. SHe said I dont know I have to call my manager the manager says well he cant really sell him as he is so sick. The girl says I wish I could give him to you but I cant. She says what can I do for him. Hubby says do you have a tub so we can bathe him. She goes and gets a tub with luke warm water and we get all the sand off him. Mind you it is stuck in his eyes, around his mouth and all in his beard as he was laying in it so long. I said has he pooped lately cuz in the bathe I can feel a lump in his belly she says well no. So hubby gets some oil at the store next door. (I forgot to tell ya that the food in the dish is covered with sand). We kept him in the bath for about 20 mins he just laid there no movement there was many times I thought he was dead. But every so often he would open his eye and look at me. It was breaking my heart . We couldnt get his mouth open to get any oil in him but while the girl and I tried hubby found a aquarium and got a heat lamp off the shelf and set up a tank for him. LOL WE TOOK OVER THE STORE!!!!!!!! They had a temp gun and hubby measured the temps in the cage the beardie was originally in and since he cant climb could not get close to the light and the warmest temp the beardie could have ever gotten was 82 degrees!!! He could not bask or anything. I dried the beardie off and hubby had the tank set up and the temp was at 100 and we put paper towel down and put him in there and within minutes the little guy was up and trying to get as close to under the light as he could. It was so sad he just scooted the best he could all over in there. He has no control over any part of his legs from the elbow down so they just dangle around and get in the way. We were there for 2 hours and the girl thanked us over and over again for all the help. I told her we will be back in the morning to check on him. I so wanted to take him home. Hubby got some pictures of him on my phone when they werent looking. He promised me he would do his best to get the manager to let us have him. We will even buy him we dont care it was so sad and we were so MAD. When we paid for our stuff the assistant manager thanked us and gave us a 10% discount on our purchase OH GOODY lol just let us have the beardie and we would have been happier!!!!!!! Sorry its so long of a post but I am still very angry and very worried about this little guy. Hubby is going to turn them in to the ASPCA but who knows what will come of it.
