Dobby, rescue number 40

It's incredibly talented, I think, to walk into my local PetSmart for a bag of crickets and come out with a 3 month beardie who has an eye defect and needs drops in his eyes three times a day.

Yep, that's me.

And that's how I got Dobby yesterday.

Here's his swollen eye

He's a healthy, active baby who is 95% normal-- he just has a bum eyelid that keeps him from opening & closing it normally. I have a friend who has other babies who will take him for now. Beardies at this age do better with other beardies-- the competition for food and heat makes them more active. In a few months, he'll be separated out by himself and adopted out to, hopefully, a permanent home.
