Midgee, rescue number 5

I actually bought Midgee from a 13 year old boy. She was 3 years old, had been kept in a 10 gallon sand tank her whole life, was never even given a name, had a broken tail that healed badly, and was fed a terrible diet of iceberg lettuce, shredded carrots, and cabbage salad. For the last year before I bought her, she hadn't been handled once. I made some major changes for Midgee (including giving her a name) and she had a hard time trusting me after that. I ended up placing Midgee with a lady near me who has been able to socialize her better than I could. She is doing great now.
