This brother & sister pair were abandoned in a house a month or so ago. As babies they were severely underfed and had no choice but to eat their clutch mates (and each other). They were also kept on sawdust. ugh.
Stubs is missing the tip of his tail, all his fingers on one hand, and a couple fingers on each foot. He is really a sweet beardie and quickly learned that he likes to snuggle at night. He is a sweetie. And he was adopted out tonight. Yay!
Minnie is the sicker of the two beardies. Her eyes are massively swollen and she's very lethargic. I did manage to get her to drink yesterday, but she will not eat. :( She loves being swaddled, but I discovered if I wrap her up in a towel, she will never, ever get out. I had to unwrap her today to make her eat. She is very docile and calm-- that could be her temperament or it could be that she is so sickly.
I'm taking her to see Dr Folland on Monday. I've flushed out her eyes multiple times but they are still huge. She loves to sit in the sun in the window and immediately goes to sleep-- actually everything makes her go to sleep. That's part of the problem. It may be awhile before she is healthy enough to adopt out.

NOTE: I changed her name from "Mimi" to "Minnie." Mimi just didn't seem to fit her. :)
