Shedding!! (Our rescue beardie)

Our little guy is shedding!! And eating!! OK, still eating from a syringe, but he IS eating!! :blob8:

So, from what we can gather (from paperwork, etc.), our little buddy is about 3 months old. From snout to the tip of his tail, he measures about 6 inches... his growth is pretty stunted. :( I try keeping him clean, but with about 4 feeding sessions per day it's tough!! I'm guessing his tummy shrank in the 2 months he was being treated, so he can't eat much at one time, but he's working on it. He runs to us for the syringe, and seems OK with letting us wipe his chin. He LOVES baths.

He seems to be losing his skin in pretty decent sheets, which surprises me... I didn't think this would go well at all. His face, around the eyes, had no issues shedding, and his toes had no issues either. The tail worries me a bit, because there seems to be an old injury there. We're headed to the vet this weekend for a check-up, so we can go over the tail and eating then.

Yay! Congrats are his shed! He looks very happy in his new home! :blob5:
I'm glad you took this little guy in!


Another thing, that's good, is that he is GOING to you because he knows the syringe has food, most dragons hate that! :D


Sorry for all the exclamation points, but I'm just so excited for you and your little friend!

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
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. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
