My Bruminating Beardies

These are my three bruminating beardies.

Max

That's about as wide as his eyes have been open for over a week

Lizzie

My daughter makes sure he is covered with his blanket every night and he
stays like that every day. She still gets him out to snuggle so he's not
totally asleep yet. 

Georgie (aka "Pickle 2")

Georgie is happiest when she is all wrapped up. I check her every day to
make sure she is okay. She ate a couple days ago so she'll be okay.

My other beardies (Toothless, Pickle, and Ziggy) are too young to be bruminating. I can't let Spike bruminate because I'm still doing wound care on him.

Pickle 2, rescue number 34, now known as Georgie

I got another juvenile aggressive beardie today. My daughter calls him "Pickle 2" but that won't be his official name. He's been bounced at least 4 times this year alone and hisses & puffs up at everyone. I have been sick today so I sent my hubby & kids to go pick him up. I pulled him out of the box and he was cold. So I put him on my chest and did a "kangaroo pouch" for him. He's been asleep there very since.

"Pickle 2" or whatever his name will be

I'm hopeful he'll be easier to tame than Pickle. Pickle is, at the ripe old age of 7 months, the biggest stinker beardie I have EVER met. EVER. We do have a truce and he'll let me wrap him in a towel at night and put him in my shirt. Tonight, though, when I went to pick him up, he tried to bite me several times. Everything freaks Pickle out. He is anxious and aggressive. Poor guy. It's going to take awhile before I can get him calmer.

So having Pickle 1 as a basis for what a grumpy beardie is, Pickle 2 seems to be a piece of cake.

UPDATE 12/18/13-- I finally decided to call "Pickle 2" by the name of "Georgie."
