Rocky the rescue

[Noella]

It was very cool to see. Our last beardie barely tolerated his soakings, much less actually enjoyed them. lol I am so happy to have Rocky, he's turning out to be pretty awesome.

That's great! Allie let me scratch her head before bed. Went late tonight. Went shopping earlier for some things. She didn't seem to mind her dessert tonight either. Squash baby food.

If I buy a carving pumpkin, could I feed Allie the flesh? Or does it have to be canned pure pumpkin?

 

[LunaLupus]

Squash baby food? Hmmmm I am adding that to my grocery list now. And I would think you could feed her pumpkin if it were grated. Doesn't it just have to be soft/small enough for them?

 

[Noella]

I've been giving her squash baby food as a treat and for hydration. (I bought these disposable baby spoons and I dip it into the glass, like the tip, and then give her some. She'll smell and lick at it. Then she'll clasp her mouth around the spoon taking it off. My gosh, she eats off a baby food spoon since I got them. (When she was sick.) I don't know how I managed to train her to do that, but it's cute and hilarious.

The squash baby food was a huge success! Rocky adores it! lol It is so funny, next time I'm going to have to video it. He latches onto the baby spoon and doesn't let go until the food is all gone. It also got him to eat his greens tonight. Thanks for the tip! Big Ang likes it as well.

That's great! Allie had some today and ate hers. Sometimes they don't like to eat what's good for them. But you know the squash baby food trick always works.

It is good to hear rescue Rocky is doing so well. He definitely loves his new home and he who feeds him!! He will soon be a happy chunky monkey! Keep us posted. It is so interesting how a rescue can be brought 'back to life'...

 

[Chris Baez Jr.]

Great to hear. Keep up the good work.

Rocky is still doing well. One of his large scabs came off in the tub today. It looks a little weird, but we'll see if the scales grow back properly. Other than that he's eating, drinking, pooping, and acting like a normal little beardie.

 

[Noella]

Made my day much better. Had this puppy coming into my yard and my dogs love to shake them up til they die and I didn't want that to happen. I took the puppy back to his home and put him into one of the kennels. Gave him a spare water bowl and left him. I had three days of migraine, tension headaches that refuse to go away. I've been trying not to live on migraine relief or Tylenol. Glad that Rocky's on his way to recovery.

 

[LunaLupus]

If you get migraines a lot, talk to your doctor about Treximet. It works wonders for me. I haven't had a migraine yet that it couldn't get rid of. And it's a take as needed pill so you don't have to take it every day.

Hope your weekend is better than yesterday.

 

[Noella]

I think I will. Thanks for the suggestion. Don't have one now. Slept it off.

 

[Noella]

Guess what? No Migraines for two days! Yes! How's Rocky doing?

 

[LunaLupus]

That's awesome!

Rocky is doing well. He's eating like a pig, letting me handle him a bit, and starting to shed. I'll try to get new pics as he sheds.

 

[Noella]

Mine's shedding on her legs now. She's such a baby. I was lying on the couch and relaxing with Allie on my chest. She was looking around and covered a little with her blankets. Well, she walked to my mouth, climbed up my face, and put her head and throat on my nose and went to sleep. LOL

 

[LunaLupus]

Sorry I haven't updated this one recently. Rocky is doing wonderfully!!! Most of his scabs have fallen off, he's mellowed out and put on quite a bit of weight. In fact, he's well on his way to being spoiled. He doesn't even hunt his crickets anymore. He waits until I put the cup of crickets in his tank, runs up and sticks his head right in to eat. lol

Anyway, here are a couple pictures taken today. You can see the difference a month makes!!!!

 

[Pat B]

He looks wonderful. You have done such a wonderful job with your Rocky rescue!! Thank you for sharing the pics.

 

[LunaLupus]

Thank you! It just makes me happy to see how far he's come.

 

[Noella]

Lookin' good, Rocky! So glad he's doing better and I was just thinking about him the other day. You know, I think we're both transmitting ESP or something. LOL!

 

[Mungi's Buddha]

AWESOME!! Makes me smile big time to know and see that he is doing so well after the "wild" time he had before you rescued him...Well Done,LunaLupus
