... three as yet unnamed beardies. Let's start with the little female.

She's just under a year old and is roughly the same size that Campbell was. Poor girl has already had two clutches at this early stage of her life! She is very cute and very active, but very skinny. She ate 10 superworms, 1 silkworm, and more salad than I thought could fit in that teeny body. She had never seen salad before today, so I'm thrilled that she seems to like it. She's a bit dirty but not as bad as the other two. There seems to be something wrong with her left eye. She tends to keep it closed, and when it's open, the pupil doesn't move around. I think she may be blind on the left side but I'm not sure.

Here she is!

Already being crazy!

First bath. She was really freaked out - didn't move a muscle the entire time.

First burrito. This, she liked!

Next up is her roommate. He's got a big frame but is very underweight, and he's absolutely filthy. He's got what appears to be a nasty case of mouth rot, but seems otherwise healthy. He's also very active and has been a headbobbing fool since he got here. He also ate 10 superworms and a silkworm, and he even tried a mouthful of salad when he saw his little girlfriend chowing down. They are temporarily sharing the big viv. They were sharing a much smaller space in their previous home, so I'm hoping this will be OK until more permanent arrangements can be made.

Here he is!

Look how dirty! Lots of retained shed came off in the tub.

First bath. He was also freaked out, but not as badly as the little girl.

First burrito. See the mouth?

And last but not least, the single male. He's easily the largest of three, although again he is very underweight. When I get him fattened up, he'll be an absolute monster! His biggest problem is obviously his mouth. His jaw is deformed and he can't close his lips all the way. He's also very dirty. He, like the other two, happily ate ten superworms and a silkworm and had a bite or two of salad. He's been armwaving a lot too.

Here he is!

This picture does not do justice to how enormous he really is.

First bath. He was the only one of the three who drank in the tub. He drank for almost a solid minute without stopping. He was also the only one who pooped in the tub. There was a lot of substrate but otherwise it didn't look too bad.

First burrito. He even sat on my shoulder for a while afterwards.

All three are clearly not used to being handled and have never been bathed. They also all had these insane velociraptor claws - my arms are cut to bits now! But they all let me trim their nails after their baths. Right now the little female is sound asleep, the male is bobbing away at me, and the single male is basking. Now I'm going to go have some dinner! :D

Oh my! Your pics show just how bad they are. I can't believe how skinny the female is (her tank mate too), and already produced two clutches?! (someone hold me back! :angry5:)

They were all probably thinking, "I better eat everything given. Who knows if there'd be more tomorrow." :angry5:

Sandi, thank you so much for rescuing them. Though you must be tired of hearing this, I must say it once more: You are the most incredible person I know, and an absolute god send for these neglected beardies.

Sandi, we all know that they are so much better off in your wonderful care. And, there 1st day with you and they've already all experienced a "beardie burrito", how special is that? :p

That poor female already producing 2 clutches, that is unbelievable!

You will have them all looking better in no time. I'll bet they'll all get a good nights sleep and have an even happier day tomorrow. Thanks Sandi, you're an angel.

You aren't kidding, Gina -- that's the way our Psycho was, he was soooo skinny when we rescued him, we felt every rib poking painfully when he was held... and he attacked his food everytime, like he was afraid it was his last meal.

I only give it 48 hours before these guys realize WHO they are with now... Sandi, you'll have them spoiled and understanding proper beardie-spoilage in no time! Two clutches already for your little princess? OMG what were those nuts thinking? Some people need to be whapped upside the head.

Oh my goodness!! Those poor babies! :(
I'm so happy you were able to take them all in!
As everyone else has already said, they will be spoiled in no time :)
Please keep us all updated on their progress!!

OMG how do you trim their nails? Psycho's nails are like death-daggers, too! We are adding a nice big sandstone rock to his viv, that worked for Crash & Xena...

On another note, my first thought for a name when seeing the biggest boy was "Oscar" -- the shape of his mouth reminded me of the character that Will Smith played in "Shark Tale"? I know that may be really queer, but had to share! :mrgreen:

You have a very big heart to take them in and give them proper care. Looks like you have a lot of work ahead of you. Keep it up and hopefully they'll be healthy and strong in no time.

Thanks Sandi for taking in the beardies. They'll all look better after some of your special care. I say I can't believe how people care of beardies, but we have a few examples in our own home. You said earlier that you have a home for the female? Glad you could do that, having 2 males in the house will be enough for you to handle. Poor princess, already having had 2 clutches and so young. You'll fatten them all up in no time! Already you have one of the males sitting on your shoulder. They already know they have a great home with you. Thanks for the pics, they sure have been neglected, but those days are over now. Keep us all posted on how they're managing.

Take care & bless you for having such a huge heart
Deborah and my zoo

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
