babysitting

i'm baby sitting a beardy that i guy i work with owns, hes 3 years old but very small for his age due to his previous owners not feeding him properly. He only weighs 170g compared with my 590g fatties.

i put him with my fat girls on the weekend for some sun and fun and he went straight fro Chubby, jumped on her back and bit into her neck before he realised his tail region was about 5 cms away from hers, the look on his face was priceless, so they resorted to having a licking competition of each others faces. it was so cute!! Its weird, Chubby seems to he his favourite, he sits on her back in the bath and snuggles up on her side when they sleep.

i took him to mums so he could have his first ever back yard experience and he loved it, my girls had a bit of a play fight but totally left him alone, he stood to the side and bearded them.
He tasted everything in mums vege patch and ended up eating 2 young of her red oak lettuces that had only just started growing, polished off all the bits of egg shell he could find and ate a yellow dandelion flower.

Hes loving snuggling up with them on the bean bag when it comes to sleepy time, and they seem pretty happy with him too, i had him between teh 2 so he'd feel loved, but an hour later when i checked them Bug had moved around him so her head was touching chubbys, those 2 need to be touching to sleep.

all their interaction has been supervised though, and incase the girls decide to get narky with him hes in a tank while i'm @ work so no harm can come to him.

So far Larry Lizard has put on 20g under my care and i have another week to give him as much good food and sun as i can manage, i'm so gonna miss him when i have to give him back

Haha cute, you plan on either Bug or Chubs having some babies?

And 170g is tiny I'm sure you're spoiling him rotten, he'll never wanna go home

I can imagine that he is being totally spoiled! But don't worry about him going home, you'll have two new bubs very very soon!
