My significant other and i where in petco, and I have to see the beardies whenever I go in. There was this little tiny one who should NOT have been up for sale at all. He was skinny, I could see his hip bones, and every time another one walked by, he/she would get stepped on by the others who where at least twice his size. Everytime he got stepped on he would sink lower to the ground. He tried to run and we noticed he had a limp, it looked at if his front hand was crumpled and bent backwards on himself. It looked like his eyes where half closed too. I almost talked my bf into getting him on three different occasions (he doesn't want to pay $60 we don't really have for a little guy he thinks will die at the end of the week :roll: ), but anyways, I pointed this out to an employee and he was looking at the little guy then went to go get a bunch of small crickets. He dumped some on the other side of the tank and then some in front of the poor baby. He ate them right up, and the guy even stood and watched till he was done eating so he could keep the other beardies away. I went home happy knowing that the little guy has a full belly tonight at least. Hoping to see that employee again soon. I am curious as to what happens with the beardies when they get older, they only sell tiny ones.
Also gonna ask him if there is any way I could get him for cheaper. Like a, he is probably not gonna make it anyways so you can pocket him and go ninja status and meet me by my car :lol: or cheaper =) I just know if he is there in like, a week I can get him.
Have a spare little tank too.
(and this is why he doesn't want me looking either lol)
Everyone please wish the little guy luck =) he was literally a third the size as everyone else.
