Sweet Baby Bean

The hard part of rescue is the reality that even with all the tools & skills & assistance I have, sometimes it's still not enough to save the life of a sick reptile. 

Saphira aka "Bean" didn't make it. He was too tiny and too deformed. I had to keep pulling him out from under a washcloth and into the heat and light. His eyes were rarely all the way open. Even being able to see other babies was not enough. :( 

Run free and easily and happy in heaven, sweet Bean. You & Roscoe can finally be whe and healthy. 

Updates on All 6 Sicklies

Mooshy ate a worm yesterday on all his own! He is very sluggish and doesn't move much. He has put on weight thankfully. He loves to snuggle at night. 

Dory is doing great after her surgery. She's out of her sick tank and in a regular 40. I'll feed her later today and see how she does. 

Peanut is eating on his own! He is more active but still walks on his wrists. He's such a pretty beardie. 

LilBit has SO much personality! He's doing the best. He's energetic and active all day. He eats like a horse! 

Saphira aka "Bean" doesn't move much and doesn't like to eat on his own. He has a vet appointment next week. 

Delilah is doing great. She is learning how to snuggle and be held. It's obvious she wasn't held much before. I think she'll quickly become a sweet & friendly beardie. 

The Three MBD Amigos

Peanut who has the most rubbery bones and moves the least. He walks on his wrists and army crawls. 

Lil Bit who is the most active, eats the most, and has the most personality. He walks and moves totally normally. His bones are still soft. 

Saphira who is the oldest and the smallest. He has soft but not rubbery bones. 

Saphira, rescue 101

Another MBD baby came today. He'll fit right in with the other two. :) 

Saphira is supposedly 8 months old but he's tinier than LilBit who is 5 months old. 

He walks on his wrist and has a little hump on his back. 

His bones are soft but not rubbery. He'll get extra nutrition and love. That should help him heal. If I can, I hope to get all three of these babies a Calcitonin shot soon to help pull calcium back into their bones.
