Zak-n-Wheezie the 2-Headed Bearded Dragon(s) RIP APR 4/16

[fresnowitte]

Todays update they got up by themselves today and hungry.
I was doing dishes looked over to find them sitting where their salad should be.....just waiting.

Huh salad?

Look at the thank-you look in Wheezies expression.

Lip smackin' good!

Zak saying, "I'll take some of that."

Yum yum!

They pooped on their paper towel and went off to bask. Now I feel even better. :mrgreen:

Good Morning, Barbara!

Fib and Nef have also been up the last couple of days too, and isn't it wonderful to have time with your boys after they've had a little (or a lot of) sleep? :laughing6: I think we love them even more when they return from their dreams. :love5: :love5: :love5: :love5: Enjoy their awake time while it lasts. I don't know yet about Nef's cycle, but I expect Fib to be sleeping most of the time until February or March. :sleepy2:

Good Morning MaryAnn!

Yes it's a very good morning when I get to see their cute little faces with open eyes and a appetite.

Everyone that is old enough or should I say big enough to brumate is up and down still....except Checker's. He made his way to the old water dish that he likes to sleep in yesterday so I'm sure he will be down now for atleast 2 months if not longer. He is my heaviest sleeper. I was so happy when he woke up last Spring because he is out solid won't even wake up when I bath him.

YAY! Good afternoon! I came on and saw a new post! YAY!!!! AWAKE BABIES!!!

I forgot to give credit to Prisma for the "beardie bra" picture! :mrgreen:

 

[blondie098]

Love the beardie hula skirt / bra! (I lived in Hawaii for 3 years!) OMG, we gotta make a good one for ZnW -- maybe little goatees and sombreros? or farmer hats with a straw toothpick? Glad they are up and around today -- and that mommy feels better so she can play!

 

[beardie parents]

Any updates?

This is soo ADORABLE! I love it!

BTW Barbara, I'm glad they wake up from time to time. It must be hard to figure out when to get them a salad and when not to.

Zak n Wheezie are so precious. I love the latest pics of them eating. Their little faces show so much expression. You can almost hear them saying Yummy! as they dive into the bowl, making a mess like mine do... well, you get double the mess.
I've read about 20 pages so far and I find them fascinating. Little heart-stealers, they are! I don't know if this has been asked already (sorry if it has) but is there a certain way they like to be held? Where do they like to be petted? Do they get jealous if one another? If one head is shedding and the other one isn't, do they both act irritated?
Oops, that was supposed to be only one question. I just get very excited hearing about this sort of thing. It shows me that anything is possible.

 

[fresnowitte]

is there a certain way they like to be held?

They prefer to sit on my chest rather than to be held. They love to snuggle.

Where do they like to be petted?

They both like being stroked from the tips of their noses to just before the hump.
I usually use my pointer and middle fingers to stroke them at the same time.

Do they get jealous if one another?

That is something that I worried about and have tried very hard to avoid sense the beginning. I've always tried very hard to give them equal attentions, food offerings, and love. I don't know if you read or not that in the first few weeks of their lives I had noticed that Wheezie seemed to be bumbed.
(Didn't allow it to become a depression) I realized that being named Zak-n-Wheezie that Zak's name always got called out first. So I tried a little experiment an I was right. From that point on we don't talk to them as Zak-n-Wheezie. I try to use Wheezie's name first half of the time an it works. I treat them as if they are 2 equal dragons...individuals to keep from one feeling left out. I've always been aware that if one head was to become depressed I would loose them.

If one head is shedding and the other one isn't, do they both act irritated?

No only when it is body or body parts other than their heads do they both act irritated.
The head that is not in shed will continue to have a normal appetite while the shedding head will not.

It shows me that anything is possible.

Yes they have a way of reminding people that miracles do happen. :wink:

Please don't worry about asking questions I love sharing them.

 

[fresnowitte]

Okay either I'm bored or avoiding starting those Thanksgiving goodies. :lol:

Zak-n-Wheezie want to give a special thank-you to Dawn & family. :wink:
Looove it! :love5: Them. :wink:

Sleeping Angels

Burrito Grande

Lounge Lizards

Hangin' Out At The Computer With Mom

PS
Thanks again Dawn! :wink:

 

[blondie098]

That's what you'd call a "double-stuffed burrito"!!! I love it! They look so snuggly-buggly, Crash loves his fleece Steelers blankie, it's his fave :lol: (Go Steelers) ...

LOOOOVE it!

 

[fresnowitte]

I know they loooove the blankies because normally when I move them into the basking area it's only a matter of an hour before they scurry off back into the dark cool side if they don't want to be awake. Not today they are still in the basking spot, but all snuggled into their blankies sound asleep. :mrgreen:
To precious! :love5:

 

[lizardgrrl]

Hi Barbara!

Wonderful, cuddly, sweet little dragon babies! :love5: :love5: They look so comfy, and the blanket is perrrfect! If they go into brumation again, just keep them in the blanky burrito, get one of those soft baby basket, and gently take them wherever you want! :sleepy2: :sleepy2: Sweet dreams to you and the whole crew!

 

[fresnowitte]

Thanks MaryAnn yeah like a baby carrier. Hmmmm..... :idea:
Heck I've got lot's of leftover custom wicker easter baskets that would work perfect for that, great idea.

 

[blondie098]

Haha, Barbara, should I start a 3rd small business making beardie burrito wrappers? They look wonderful, I printed a copy of that picture for my quilt album!

 

[Ethelia]

Always lovely to see our two heartbreakers.

Thank you for updating us.
They brighten up my day x
