**Update** Adventures of Rocky the Rescue

Rocky has been with us for just over a month and I think it's safe to say, he's settling in nicely.

I was leaving the house a few days ago and when I went to say "bye" to Rocky, I noticed that his hammock had fallen down. I didn't have time to fix it, so I moved him away from it and left it down; hoping that he wouldn't get back on it. Well...as we all know, our dragons LOVE their hammocks. This is what I found when I returned home, a few hours later:

Rocky, back on his fallen hammock. Using his tail to hold him up.


I decided to remove the hammock altogether for a while. Rocky was having none of that. From that day forward, he has been pooping on his basking spot, right where his hammock had been. And then he lays in it. I think this is an all out "Hammock Protest."

I had to give him a bath to get the poo off his belly and he tried his best to escape.


I want to put paper towels down on his basking spot to make clean up easier, but this guy is terrified of them! He freaks out every time I come near his tank with paper towels in my hand.

I am such a proud beardie mama. I love this guy and can't wait to share more of his adventures.

"Baby, it's cold outside."

Rocky's getting ready for winter.

"When Mommy gives me a bath at 7:45am, it can only mean one thing...Grandma's coming to town! I have yet to meet my paternal grandparents, since I've only been with my new family for 9 months. Their plane is landing any minute... I hope I make a good, first impression on them. I'm sure there will be a few head bobs and arm waves as we get to know each other. I can't wait for my grandma to see that I like to snuggle with the blanket that she made for my parents' previous beardie. And most of all, I can't wait to show off all of the cool outfits my mommy bought me. Happy Holidays!"

Rocky Says (with a serious black beard and multiple head bobs...):

"Who ARE all of these strange people in my house??? And why do they keep randomly staring at me?"

 

[SHBailey]

And he does look SERIOUS about it too. He has definitely mastered the fine art of "THE LOOK"

He has definitely mastered "The Look." I feel for the guy...he's a bit stressed by the holidays. He finally gave up today and turned his back on us and went to sleep by 4:30pm. I think lots of snuggles with mommy are in order for tomorrow.

You are an awesome dragon, that is why they are looking at you Rocky, relax and soak it up.

"Mommy and I took a "time-out" from the madness and escaped to her room for a couple of minutes. I got to run around on her fluffy, down blanket and head bob at the humidifier. Life is good."

 

[RockysMom]

"FINALLY getting some peace and quiet around here. Relaxing in my happy place."

I order his clothes from Pampered Beardies on Etsy. I love all of their beardie clothes/accessories. It's so hard not to buy one of everything!
