Just found this pic of Phoebe when I first got her, 2 years ago... Too cute!

How old was she there? She's grown up a lot since then. What a pretty little girl!

She was around 9 months and gravid!!!
Here is another- note the eggy belly!!!!!

Oh fooey, the pic link didn't show up.

 

[MissT]

My fault lol

 

[suzjohnson]

Oh, funny! She looks like she swallowed a bunch of marbles. Do you think the eggs get as large when they aren't fertile? I hope, for your sake, she gets this over with soon.

Baby Phoebe's so cute! Can't believe she was gravid at 9 months though :roll:

They are much smaller. Her last clutch only had 2 fertile eggs. Those were the ony 2 eggs we kept. They hatched but didn't survive- she had been on antibiotics while gravid.

These were her babies...

Yep, she was far too young. And, if I remember correctly she was only 12 inches long!!!

So I moved Huff into What was Kazis viv. Phoebe can hear him scratching around and has been very intrigued by all the noise. She has eaten half of her salad too!!!! I think she is enjoying this change. Perhaps she has been missing having a beardie upstairs!!!

Perhaps she has been missing having a beardie upstairs!!!

I'm sure she missed having an upstairs neighbor.

 

[Mirthy]

competition! It is my new theory. She knows another dragon might magically get down into her viv and take HER salad!!
So what if she only might have wanted to eat it....it is HERS! How dare Huff! hehehe.

Seriously though... I think this really might affect bearded dragon diet. Having more than one bearded dragon might cause a small amount of normal territorial food consumption. I would imagine that Ms Phoebe would become accustomed to having Huff there and might go back to her usual salad habits though. Maybe not? I'm making this stuff up but it sounds good, eh? 8) I'm not sure how it could be tested.

 

[MissT]

Well, before Kazi got sick she would eat most of her salad. The day he got sick she stopped- he was a lot quieter for the last 2 months of his life. Now Huff is above her and most of her salad is gone today!!!!!
I wonder- when the newbaby arrives it will be above Huff- perhaps that will make him eat!!!!!

Oh my! Christina, if you're going by the upstairs neighbor theory, you'll have to live in a grain silo and invest in a cherry picker to reach all of them :laughhard:

LOL!!!!
