Ive already made the mistake of ordering from this company, and believe me I'm terrified. This wasnt the first company i looked at, however it was the first one i found with red bearded dragons for sale after browsing through many websites and i figured this would be one of the only ones i would find and went for it. Im just now, after having my bearded dragon for 3 days, figuring out how awful this company is...really kicking myself for this one.
However, my bearded dragon, about 8 weeks, seems to be doing okay, and im just wondering how scared i should be these next couple weeks.
I got exactly what i ordered, a red bearded dragon baby. He's still finicky with eating after traveling so far, the first day i had him he ate about 20 crickets (1/4 inch), and yesterday maybe 10. Ive given him water with the dropper and plan for a bath today, and he's got kale in his tank if he needs it, but has taken no greens so far. He basks for most hours of the day, unless he sees his reflection then he'll glass surf for a few minutes (maybe 10-15 max), get bored, and go back to what he was doing. He's had one bowel movement each day so far, looks healthy (bright eyes, all his fingers and toes, responds quickly to sound), and overall he's active. He's also finishing up a shed on his tail. Last night he went to sleep on his own around 9, i woke him up around 8 this morning.
A little slow to wake this morning, im hoping i can get him to eat before i leave for work at 11 but ill be back at 2 if he doesnt.
Basking side around 110, i have not bought a thermometer for the cool side but i switch it over in the middle of the day, usually around 85. UV 10, and most sides of the glass are decorated to keep him from getting too stressed.
Again im really kicking myself for not reading reviews, and its so not like me. It never occurred to me that reptile trade could be this shady, but im hoping that my lil dude will make it through and i can give him the best home possible :/
