Shiro's great adventures

Not open for further replies.
So I would like to introduce my new baby beardie, Shiro (it means white in Japanese) becuase he or she is a white hypo beardie.

Really happy to have him/her and I hope questions and answers on this post will help other people that have a baby beardie.

To kick it off she/he is stunning and very cheeky already! Took dubia from my hand without blinking and jumped onto her hammock and is happily watching her new tank.

So far so good and vet check next week and every six months from there on.

My beautiful girl Tengu will be sadly missed but she taught me a lot and she will always be in my heart and memories, RIP Tengu chan we love you so much.

What a mess :( I really hope alll this gets sorted soon for your sake as well!!

Currently my J friend is shouting at the "pet shop" she has a care sheet of beardies (very Japanese) so she's knows what to say LOL

I'm waiting for the excuses from the pet shop. They love excuses. I'm so not letting this go at all. I will bug them everyday as well as reporting them. I want to get it closed down for cruelty. I'm waking up thinking about it :,(

Keep me posted on the pet shop, hope it does get closed or fined & the dragons are removed for good.

Yes, it's quite the mess, he's not thinking straight. It's best they not have anything in writing for now, anyway, but eventually, he's going to need an agreement so that he'll not lose his children. I'll have to check about the legalities. Tonight he went to his friend Tracie to relax and I get my place to myself for a night!

Nice!!!

Well she spoke to the head of pet shop and explained how bad the condition is and he said he will call repti glo people and ask about set ups. He said he will get them changed and my friend said she will chance and if it doesn't change she will have to call SOMEONE ELSE. In Japan it's a way of saying I will have you shut down without saying it.

Keep an eye on that. Oh and yes he said we get rid of water after they poop. My friend was armed with answers and she said about humidity etc and that shot him down instantly.

That is one healthy, big, beardie you have there, so content with his life, because he's with YOU :D

And not Reptiglo, they are not for beardies, Reptisun 10.0 is the tube that needs to be used. Please let them know somehow. The dragons will get more will. They need the Reptisun 10.0 in the tank and no water. God, these please need to get those dragons out of there, they need better homes, they should just give them away!

Good start to my day, had a good sleep in my bed. Eric stayed at his friend Tracie's, which was wonderful. I'm working 2-6 and intend to be there!

He is! Such a big boy now!! I wasn't looking at pictures of when I first got him and wow!!! It's scary how much he's grown. I think I will take out climbing things now that he's grown. I mean the thin things. This morning he chowed down his leaf and went to the Dubia and ate then as well! LOL. She had a small bath yesterday and did her business of course LOL. Such a lovely boy.

I asked you this before so my apologise for asking again. It is 1 year old you start giving less dubia right? Like three days a week as well as less calcium and vitamins. I can find your post about that somewhere.

Our post count is catching up to Tengus post count! I hope our posts give people lots of info!



That shop does need to give them away. You would just explode if you saw the conditions. I was going to take a picture for you but I didn't want to upset you.

I will check in on Monday and see what's going on. It's not a close place which makes it a hassle but I can't stop thinking about the dragons.

So I never did follow that rule, ever. If a year old dragon, who isn't even full grown yet, wants a certain amount of bugs, I say you give him/her those bugs. I've never counted even as they grew older. The only thing I ever changed was Leo, from super worms to dubia roaches. He had fatty liver disease and that brought his blood results back to normal. Otherwise they get what they want. I find by 9 or 10 mo old, he'll start eating every 2nd day or less daily. I let the dragon decide, especially that young. Just keep up what you're doing, greens before bugs. You'll find the amount of dubia are shortly going to increase. He's now entering his biggest growing period in his life. That's why I said 9 or 10 mo old, when their appetite can change. Some don't change until they're more towards 2. Castiel is now 2 yrs old, I give him 4 worms a day, but might and that's still a decent amount. He's not gaining any weight with them, he's staying steady at 52 cm long and 604g. He's been around that weight since he was a year old, so giving him a few less a day keeps him healthy. He's also one that eats all his greens, too. He and Cierra are the only dragons that eat on their own, both bugs and greens. Imp is starting to eat dubia from the food dish but he didn't eat any today. That means tomorrow he gets force fed (meaning I put a roach between his lips and pushas I think he's lost some weight. So I insist he eats at least 12-14 roaches (1")

Are you going to give him other climbing things? You're talking about the resin vines? For babies? Yes, probably a good idea, even though you can twine them together to make a bigger vine.

Well, kids got here, helped them upstairs & for the first time they were all smiles to be here. Progress! They coloured, played blocks, think they would have stayed up all night if my son wasn't so tired and sick (cold with cough). So he's sound asleep and the kids are watching the LEGO movie. I still have a wash to get in an hour, had to run out for diapers there were none!

Luckily I'm getting a bonus this year, even though I was off sick so much, when I was at work, even though I was at the bottom of the pile, I was still considered efficient with my calls. Now to get in the swing again. I had 922 emails to plow thru, got 1/2 done in the 4 hours I was at work because I had to change all my passwords to all 7 programs we use. And next year is my 25th year, so I get an extra week off, plus they have to move all the hours that I had booked for vacation since Aug 19 and add them to my vacations for next year, which means I'm going to have a whopping huge amount of vacation time, which will be great, will get alot of 4 day weeks out of that. I love not coming in on Monday and we're a reduced crew, so makes sense. Gives me alot of long weekends, Monday to get over the kids being here on the weekend, LOL. But I'm still taking it easy to get full time. I think, after my manager saw me today, over 15 lbs lighter, she realized how sick I'd been. I feel better but don't want to push it.

I can't believe that the kids are still awake, Eric is still yelling at Leo to lie down & sleep & he's refusing. This is not a good thing, having them sleep together, but I just don't have any other room and I can't sleep with them, they'd never settle down if Dad wasn't there. That's what they're used to now. Sigh...

great idea! I twisted the vine and made it thicker. She now hates it but I am sure she will grow to like it :lol:

Eating 12-15 dubia now and LOVES fruit!! She has a full body shed going on now so shes acting a little crazy :D

Have to get a new side table for her as it just doesn't look right. i will build one! It will be a bit lower but I am sure she will learn to live with it.

Bath time for her tomorrow :) I oiled her up with coconut oil today and she was pissed!!! LOL

hope the crew are okay and great news about work! :D :D

Yes, got to work yesterday, too, even though we had a snow storm. Got about 12 cm and getting more on Friday. Plus electric went out at 4p until 8:30p yesterday. Luckily I'd put the heat up, so it stayed at 70. Only my leopard gecko was upset, she just stayed in her coconut all curled up. She sure was glad to feel the warmth when the power went on again.

This week I work Wed and Fri, 4 hours, next week Tues, Thurs, Fri, 4 hours, week after will add more hours. I'll be full time in Jan some time. Taking it easy, have a cold and cough so don't want to make it worse. Have to go to chiro today, then home and take it easy.

The boys are fine, still only Imp and Gabriel up. Gabriel is really enjoying cruising around the living room and he ate 1 worm, then mauled the 2nd and spit it out :lol: He does get very particular!

Sounds like Shiro is going through a bigger growth spurt. I can well imagine how grumpy he is. And what's wrong with the table he's on, isn't it high enough? You'll have to let me know. I'm sure she'll enjoy the vine soon, they just get put out when anything changes in or near their home. They're just so funny!

Great news about work :)

Snowing, wow!

Well the table Shiro is on was a kitchen work bench and as we moved house it was temporary until we could get one we wanted.

Ow this one is huge and suits the style of the house which is 50's California. She is watching me assemble it with one eye!!!

He's wondering what you're doing & how it's going to affect him. They do think of how change will affect them, I think.

So I've had Imp in Castiel's tank while Castiel was brumating. Well, yesterday I heard a thump and ran to the living room and there they were, Imp and Castiel, getting ready to fight. So Imp is on the ramp and I have to figure out what's wrong with the connection in Imp's tank as his UVB light won't work. I'll have to figure it out today.

Otherwise, Eric has been here the whole week. He's been sick with the flu, so I got him some dried elderberry tea. The stuff is great to get rid of viruses & one store in New West carries them, so I got a bag full yesterday and he had tea last night, he was asleep just after 7p. He's just exhausted!

Have to start my day, breakfast, make a snack, get out by 12:30, talk to you later!

WOW they actually think how it will affect them?! Such amazing reptiles!!!!

He's not a happy boy this morning that's for sure but I have him a bath anyway :) sooooooooo much shedding. It's full body this time. Caught him eye bulging yesterday LOL and today he's on hunger strike. It's strange with his new table because it's same place, same height. He will chill out soon enough.

Eating wise he's having 10-16 dubia a day and they are big so it's great. Also fruit and veg are doing well.

New photos coming soon :) after shed LOL

So imp and Gabriel were getting ready for a fight! WOW love their territory don't they!!!

Yes, he'll get used to it, poor boy, going through a shed and changes at the same time :lol: They really hate change...strange.

No it was Castiel and Imp who were facing off. Imp was using Castiel's tank because Castiel was brumating, but he woke up and now he's back to sleep. Got me working on Imp's lights at least, think it's the converter box that's not working. Luckily I have another one that I'll use tomorrow to make sure it works.

Ah! Castiel! I've never seen a Beardie stand off LOL

Well he's having a quiet day today. Leave him be. I need to get hooks and mountain climbing clips to hold my huge side table/storage thing in case of earthquakes. If that fell on you it would kill you. Also I'm trying to figure out how to prevent the tank falling off. Hmmmmmmm can't drill into glass of course. It's a difficult one

Makes sense you'd want to keep the table from moving, as for the tank, can't figure out a way for you, either.

We have lots of earthquakes over here but I've never been able to figure out how to fix 5 tanks, plus the 3 for the geckos to the wall, so we'll hope they're never bigger than the earthquakes have been so far.

I'm sure you'll figure something out.

Didn't make it to work last night, was too tired & coughing. Feel better today but put a muscle out coughing this am, but will still make it to work tomorrow night. Then I don't go back until next Tues, Thurs and Fri. Hopefully I don't miss anymore hours I've requested.

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!
