|  | instant karma Subscriber | Join Date: Jun-07 Location: melbourne Age/Gender: 24  | | | | Beardy Update Well..it's been about a month now since i got the 8 li'l beardy bubs (from interstate), As said before they were unfortunately ALL sick 6 of them being worse than the other 2. I am so angry about how badly mis-treated they were! And unfortunately one past away today after so many attempts to save it's life.. He hadn't opened his eyes the whole time i've had him here and i knew as soon as i saw him it was going to be a hard task to help save him, so the last 2 weeks i've had to force feed the li'l guy but to no avail as he gave up the fight this afternoon ..There is still 2 more i am really concerned about and 1 of them i am also needing to force feed daily. I have tried EVERYTHING to try and get them healthy again!.. 3 of the 6 have become very healthy and shed 3x already so i guess there is some good news there. Also Saz's li'l bubs(x2) are both doing great after a little r&r. So now i'm contemplating how i can make a complaint against this person? Is it possible? I feel terrible at the moment because of all of this, and although yes i've probably saved the poor li'l things from all a slow painfull death.. i kind of wished i never bought them now . Some people are just total ____!

We have freighted many hatchling beardies interstate with no problems at all. Also we have bought many reptiles from interstate, also with no problems. It's unfortunate that your first purchase online/interstate was so bad. Not sure who you could complain to - perhaps RSPCA or maybe you could put a post on the forum and name the breeder so no one else has this misfortune. |  | | |
