Acquired this little fella last night.They called him George -but never treated him like a saint!
Apparently hes not lived in a tank for a while ( they didnt have one) had no UV or heat and they only fed him now and again. Beardies should be fed every day live insects and veggies. When we asked what he was eating the reply was " dunno aint fed him in a while" WTF???
Was meant to get him the other day but people kept coming up with excuses. So eventually picked him up last night. He has a nice bath to rehydrate him etc and put him in a heated tank.
So no proper tank for him. Found a small tank and put him in it near patio doors today so he could get sun (UV) and heat all day today as its been hot. Hes so far eaten 1/2 box locusts had a drink and although not used to a tank seems happy enough. They guy couldnt be bothered to take him down to a shop or go and buy him a new tank. Apparently he went missing a while back so they sold everything. - NO COMMENT!!!
Well i must admit i was surprised at how healthy he looks - i dont know what i expected but ive seen a lot worse come in the shop. he want to run away form you - probably due to being scared of the dog where he was.
So now going to feed him up get him back up to scratch and find him a good home with someone that wants him.
Icanbe IF only you lived closer i know you'd have him :)
heres the little fella - sorry vids not very good but
