I am attached but I’ve only just graduated college and I am planning on moving into my own (very small) place soon and I just don’t think I have the room or time (once I start working) for two.Im glad to hear she got the all clear, tgats great news!!!!! Hopefully the tail issue turns out to be a none issue also. She is a very lucky girl. So are you still planning to rehoming her or are you attached already??? I think I'm gonba plays the odds
My dad used to grow some kale. We are talking about growing some more.If you have room maybe set up a small garden she could graze in.
I would take the roaches out of the tank and maybe feed a softer insect staple like silk worms- I had rehomed/ rescued and dragon a few years back and by the time I got her she was too far gone to save - she was severely malnourshished according to my reptile vet - I managed to keep her alive for 3 weeks and then she passed - she had a coil for a UVB was in a 20 gallon tank and I dont know if she had proper surface basking temps or not all I know is she was in really bad shape when I got her - I did my best but I believe she was too far gone as her organs started to shut down - it was heart breaking to watch her -- the person I got her from could not even tell me how old she was - she had taken her home from a petsmart that she worked at - sad story on this oneI’m really thinking her main issue right now is potential impaction. I’m curious if anyone has every rehabilitated a beardie who did not have propped basking available to them during their neglect. How long did it take for them to recover and pass everything once they could bask again?
Simon obviously has a great basking spot now (and uses it almost all day long) but I’m still seeing signs of impaction from bug exoskeletons.
This morning she passed another hard chunk of bug exoskeleton (has happened once before).
So she has 3 types of poop currently:
1. Basically clear water small urinate.
2. Normalish poop with urinate, on the dark side, too small.
3. Hard chunk of partially undigested bug exoskeleton. Hard and crunchy.
This morning was one hard exoskeleton poop and one normalish poop. I then gave her green bean baby food and one drop of organic olive oil. She is still not eating the roaches in her tank.
Wow you have got me teared up, that is so sad.I would take the roaches out of the tank and maybe feed a softer insect staple like silk worms- I had rehomed/ rescued and dragon a few years back and by the time I got her she was too far gone to save - she was severely malnourshished according to my reptile vet - I managed to keep her alive for 3 weeks and then she passed - she had a coil for a UVB was in a 20 gallon tank and I dont know if she had proper surface basking temps or not all I know is she was in really bad shape when I got her - I did my best but I believe she was too far gone as her organs started to shut down - it was heart breaking to watch her -- the person I got her from could not even tell me how old she was - she had taken her home from a petsmart that she worked at - sad story on this one
Okay I will get some silkworms. They are a bit fattier aren’t they? Shouldn’t be an issue because Simon gets lots of exercise in running around every day lol!I would take the roaches out of the tank and maybe feed a softer insect staple like silk worms- I had rehomed/ rescued and dragon a few years back and by the time I got her she was too far gone to save - she was severely malnourshished according to my reptile vet - I managed to keep her alive for 3 weeks and then she passed - she had a coil for a UVB was in a 20 gallon tank and I dont know if she had proper surface basking temps or not all I know is she was in really bad shape when I got her - I did my best but I believe she was too far gone as her organs started to shut down - it was heart breaking to watch her -- the person I got her from could not even tell me how old she was - she had taken her home from a petsmart that she worked at - sad story on this one
