I’m a send you my image my bear dragon they are the wonderful thing right next to you
My beard dragon names lucky
Also, hiii! I love you. I missed you. Things went crazy this past month with the Colorado fires right next to my Josie, trying to help find lost pets, and then my house coming down with covid, so I’m so glad to be back! What have you been up to?? ❤️❤️❤️
Hoping to find a home situation that allows me to have a dog(s)!
It is amazing to know that you are ok after all that!
I've been doing good, can't wait for spring here but that's all. :D
Watching your videos
@@absolutelynotanyone oooou good luck! Just be honest and open and you’ll find the right landlord :)
@@dogandcat3672 I’m ready for spring too!!
"They do have personalities" no statement has ever been so true! Our beardie has a BIG personality. Unfortunately it's more the 'I want to do my own thing and run around' than the cute 'let's cuddle' kind haha.
This is even true for fish. My betta fish had a huge personality. He was super social to anyone that would come up to his tank. He had his preferences
as someone who's volunteered with animal rescues, i love this video's message! the older an animal gets, the more difficult it is for us to find new homes for them bc everyone wants babies - this goes for all animals; dogs, cats, rodents, reptiles, etc. but adult animals are just as incredible as babies! and rescuing senior animals is especially rewarding imo 💚
Yes to this!!! My husband and I adopted our first pet together early last year. She’s a senior cat named Peaches and we are her fourth home. She was always quite sweet, and surprisingly brave for all she’s been through, but it’s truly amazing to realize her relationship with us is *still* deepening and changing. We’ve had her for almost a full year and she’s just started curling up right next to us on the couch instead of a few inches away. I’ve been around animals my whole life and I can honestly say I have never experienced anything quite like it! I am such a huge proponent of adopting seniors now!
In early December, I rescued a female betta fish. Every time I mention that it gets a weird reaction. Many people don’t consider adopting small pets. She was in terrible condition and the shelter didn’t really know how to care for her which is understandable. Now in January however, she is doing incredibly well. She grew in surprisingly large fins and is the most energetic betta I’ve ever met. She is also quite a voracious eater and a glutton and beggar 😆
Cool! I really want to adopt/rescue a betta sometime.
Aww, that's sweet of you, yea I've seen many betta fish in pet stores that look more dead than alive and it kills me every time. And as much as I like male bettas, I've always want to get a female betta, they are just as pretty. ♥
@@vedaschaefer3918 it can be quite the challenge, but super rewarding! Seeing my little Maru get spicier every day and trying new foods and having a huge tank to explore makes me unimaginably happy 😊
I prefer getting a baby beardie because I get to watch their personality develop as they grow, and enjoy the surprise of who they're going to be. That said, my boy was technically a rescue baby when I got him a decade ago because he was born without the ability to move his legs and wasn't expected to live. It took months of daily bath therapy but ten years later he's still going strong and able to move around his enclosure. My now deceased female was a rescued adult and had the biggest temper I've ever seen on a nonaggressive beardie. I loved her and she never bit but my goodness she was mad at the world!
I rescued a Crested Gecko from a Petsmart. It was free and "for adoption" because it wasn't growing. Since I had it, been growing like a weed. My Gargoyle Gecko was a relinquishment find. I didn't want to spend over $250+ on one, but I found one for $100 who wasn't wanted.. She was in a bad shed, and was missing a front toe. But since I had her she's had perfect sheds and her missing toe doesn't seem to bother her.
No matter how many lemons life throws at you, you always come out smiling, working, and inspiring.
I've avoided a beardie because of how much they eat and how much daily care they require. I have snakes and tarantulas because I prefer to reserve daily care energy for my dogs. But my kiddo is 7 now and now his dad wants one too so I'm considering it. I also have a spare zen habitat and most of the supplies anyway. I've been thinking an adult would be ideal because they eat way more veggies and I have plenty of big roaches (I breed three different colonies, WAY more than my spiders eat and only one eats big roaches). Plus, it won't be a responsibility we will be saddled with long past when my son eventually loses interest, assuming he will like most kids. Or maybe he doesn't, but I don't want him to start his adult life with a huge responsibility. We may foster first to make sure everyone is up for the care before we make an adoption commitment as we've done plenty of reptile foster already.
How much daily care do you think they need? You just feed them and clean up their poop. They aren't anymore work than my cats honestly. I had guinea pigs for 6 years and I would never do that again. My beardie is very low maintenance compared to the guinea pigs. He poops 2 or 3 times a week. They pooped 100 times a day!
@@snowps1 Change water, make salad, spot clean daily. A lot more poop than my snakes 🤣 For a reptile, they require a bit more work. Especially babies, since they eat a ton of protein, but I wouldn't get one. For reference, I've been managing pet stores for a decade so I've cared for thousands of them.
I rescued my boy from a friend of a friend who was rehoming him. I paid $20 for him with his enclosure. Sadly his enclosure was only a 20 gallon long. He had been kept in the 20 gallon long, with no uvb, eating his favorite foods (ham and cilantro 🤮) for 6 years. I got him right after his 6th birthday. I immediately got a 40 gallon tank for him and have been trying to upgrade him to a 4x2x2 for almost a year. I finally ordered one a few months ago, but it has been on backorder (I should've just ordered a zen habitats instead of trying to save some $). He was a very very angry boy when I first got him and had a black beard 24/7 and would hiss at you every time you walk by his enclosure. He now gets large salads and super worms and dubia roaches and all sorts of yummy bugs. He also is super stunted, missing a few toes and the end of his tail, he had really clogged pores that we have been working on,and he has mbd. He has definitely gotten a lot better and tolerates handling and even lets kids pet him and learn about him. He is my baby and I find so much joy in owning him. The only down side of adopting an adult, is you get less time with them. I missed out on 6 years of my beardies life, but I'm definitely thankful for every second I've gotten to spend with him. I definitely think I will always need to have a beardy in my life. They are such special animals!
That poor boy! Glad you got him and he’s having a much improved life!
I absolutely love my adopted Bearded dragon Hazel! ^^ She's so sweet and cuddly, and loves to hang out with me every day! (tho somedays it's too cold to take her out of her enclosure, but she gets to come out a lot)
She's almost 4 I think now, and I adopted her last June :)
She makes me laugh all the time and her favorite is going outside in the summer and getting fed dandelions ^^
Thanks for making sure people consider being responsible, but I do think it's different for someone like you that has quarantine space, knows to quarantine, has enclosures available, is an educator, will definitely research, etc. ❤️ Welcome Norbert!
PLEASE DO ANOTHER BEARDED DRAGON CARE GUIDE/ ENCLOSURE REVEAL! I’m looking to adopt one, checking frequently at the pet rescues near me for s surrendered dragon :)
I got my beardie as a 2 year old after her previous owner moved to a place that did not allow pets. I really wanted a beardie by knew that a hatchling would be too much work for me, so went with an adult who needed a new home. She's definitely had a quality of life upgrade since moving in with me - her previous owner kept her in a 40 gal, she's now in a 4x2x2, is getting a better diet, and I had her treated for the parasites she had from eating wild-caught bugs at her previous home. Her previous family had young kids and is very gentle and was clearly handled quite a bit by the kids
my boy hangs out in my office most of the time, he has a porta cot under the window. as an aussie i completely understand the bushfire situation. i got evacuated during last years fires, it is definitely stressful. if youre in an area that is prone to fires i definitely recommend a go box with all your important paper work, wireless radio, torch, first aid kit ect and have it by your door during fire season.
I got my beardie on Kijiji for $150 CAD, including the enclosure and supplies. He’s so tame, and never bobs or bites and rarely gets angry. He loves cuddles and going on walks when it’s warm.
If I had bought a baby, it would have been around $150-250 CAD for just the dragon and at least $300 for the supplies. Plus, the baby wouldn’t have been hand tamed and I would be supporting breeders instead of rescues/people going through hard times.
Too funny, Natures box is where i got my very first beardie, who by the way is also named Norbert! My very first lizard, a leopard gecko also came from Natures box. I now have 3 beardies, 7 uromastyx, 3 leopard tortoises, 4 leachianus, 6 gargoyle geckos, 2 cresties and an eastern blue tongue. We love our babies and just built a separate reptile building with it’s own, heating , cooling, and plumbing.
while I agree with your points about an adult, I decided to get a baby from CBC. I like the fact that Ronnie called me personally and chatted awhile about my reptile experience. I have had 2 larger snakes, 2 red-eared sliders in the past and currently have a 25 year old Sulcatta.
I can not wait until my baby Beardie gets here in about 3 weeks.
But, I love your videos and enjoy you interacting with your animals. and yes, Norbert is cute!
I can tell how Norbert looks at you, that he really loves you💚 And he's so cute too! Nice to meet you Norbert!!
I've missed your videos so much! Im so happy to see you back on UA-cam! Im glad you're okay and I hope you and your companions are okay too!
A tip to get a baby beardie to eat veggies (also worked for my baby Chinese water dragon and my baby brown basilisk) is to sprinkle their veggies with bee pollen! I use to buy bee pollen from my local vitamin store and also whole food but now I just get it from my hives
It makes me so happy to see you happy and healthy, Em! You’ve always been my biggest inspiration to keep fighting for my wellbeing despite my mental health issues :) thank you for being you, you’re such an important human ❤️
My beardie was gotten from a breeder (as all reptiles in australia are). Rescues do exist but due to the extensive licensing of reptiles here there are far less impulse purchases in general and thus, less needing mass rehoming.
When the breeder asked if there were traits I was looking for I just answered 'one that will like me' and he chuckled to himself a bit before selecting Kevin from one of the upper branches.
If his goal was to match a noob keeper with a chill boi he definitely succeeded! I joke his beard is broken since he's never ever puffed up or gone dark ever. He just judges from my shoulder or snugs into my chin.
Reason # 639 that Australia is better than the US and I need to move there
I have a 3-year-old rescue beardie and he’s literally the love of my life
Omg that’s awesome! So happy for you. Love your videos Em!
I've never been a fan of the "adopt don't shop" mentality (and I know you dealt with that too getting Kiba) but I do make an exception for the reptile species that are...I'm reluctant to say overbred, but overbred lol. Beardies, ball pythons, leos, boas, etc. They're all produced in much greater numbers than there are people willing and able to properly care for them. With cats and dogs, there's a very real argument to be made for buying a puppy/kitten - wanting them to perform certain tasks, exposing them to specific aspects of your lifestyle that would be harder for an adult to adjust to, wanting to train them your own way and help mold their behavior from the start. With reptiles, those usually aren't factors. So unless you want a specific morph (which I am also completely okay with), or you want the experience of raising a baby (which is also extremely valuable to have if you plan on keeping long-term or multiple animals), there's really not a lot of downside to adopting instead
Again to clarify, I have no issue whatsoever with people who do breed or buy any of these species - I have done it and there are still more I plan to in the future - but if I don't care about genetics and just want a cool pet, I definitely prefer adoption
You should still adopt a dog or cat. They are overbred, horribly deformed from overbreeding and selectively breeding for particular deformities and the only reasons you have for buying a ay are so they can be bent to your will, purely personal convenience on your part. That's inexcusable when s many of the get put down every day.
Honestly I advocate for adopting adult pets in general. I actually rescued my adult cat (straight from the street) but I would have adopted an adult cat from a rescue centre or a shelter
I rescued my beardie when he was 8 months old from an abusive home. His previous owner was mentally ill and would throw him, squeeze him, and would leave him without food or water for weeks. When he came to me, he was totally emaciated, had a kink in his tail due to MDB and lack of ever having UV lights, and was terrified of people. He would try to run away, and then attack me whenever I reached into his tank. Now, a year and a half later, he's my calmest reptile. He will climb out of his tank and up onto my bed to hang out with me, he's a healthy weight and doesn't have MDB anymore, AND he hasn't tried to bite me in almost a year now!
Wow I don’t care!!
@@plantsnthings9140 I read every comment on this video and still haven't found who asked.
I was ready and convinced I would get an adult beardie, but all those that were available for the months I was looking were special needs and I didn't feel ready for that. Then, serendipitously, I encountered Ray the small one of his clutch (not exactly a runt but slightly behind) and I fell in love. My God he grew huge compared to how small he was! He was as big as a finger and is now a full size pancake!
He also snuggles, follows me around the home, responds to some commands (most of the time) and is all around a lovely guy. I'm glad we found each other, but giving all the stress I had about his growing, I too recommend getting an adult.
Not me sitting on my couch with my rescue 1.5 yro beardie watching this with a tear in my eye because she's perfect and what I give to her, she gives to me 10 fold. I wish ik who had her before so I could thank them.
I have a rescue beridie, a friend of mine could no longer look after her but he had her for 7 years. she nearly 9 now he took good care of her but didnt have her for the first year of her life and during that time she was housed with her brother and she and her brother developed MBD so she was sick when he got her. anyway shes got some missing toes and a bit of her tail shes a little stunted and has am over bite but I adore her. She extremly stubborn and such a drama queen but she my baby, she loves her cuddles and watching tv with me but also loves climbing and jumping XD
I rescued a blue tongued skink, the short story is that he was given away for free because his last owner was a 14 year old boy that was basically neglecting him. so i offered to take him, he hadnt been handled and is pretty huffy, hes about 4 now roughly he was around 18 months when i got him.
I don't have any bearded dragons, but I have two cornsnakes!
I got both as adults from re-home situations, because I really don't have the ability to keep upgrading enclosures, upping the meal sizes, and just the small wigglyness of babies.
So I got adults instead! Way less work, and they were already at a good handleable size too!
The first one I got is really calm and really easy and enjoyable to handle, but the second one is scared of people and has an attitude, which I knew before picking him up. They are amazing and beautiful and I'm so happy I went with re-home adults instead of buying babies!
I got the first one about two years ago, and the second one about a year ago, and oh gosh their metabolism is sloooow
hi! i adopted an adult beardie at the start of the month and oh my gosh. best experience of my life. frankie is such a sweetheart and a lovely personality.
I actually got my bearded dragon as a “freebie” when I bought my Asian water monitor. He’s such a cutie with a big personality
I'm actually quite happy to see you have a bearded dragon now. After I got to hold my friend's last year I decided I want to get one in the future. I've done some research but I'm looking forward to learning more from you. I also love the fact the Harry Potter naming continues. Welcome Norbert. :)
If I'm ever in a position to have a reptile I plan to rescue! I adopted both of my cats as adults so I don't mind skipping the stressful baby stage.
i adopted two snakes from a shelter i work at, a white sided ratsnake called udon and a blind cornsnake called monty
I am getting my first dragon and. Am adopting an adult from a local rescue. I was already going to do this prior to watching this and this totally sold me more on it ! Love the video
I had a bearded dragon when I was a child called Carl, he was absolutely incredible and I miss him so much. Welcome to the family Norbert 💕
I think people tend to underestimate the fact that with young animals you don't always know what they're going to be like when they grow up. And it's not just a question of how you're going to raise them. A cuddly baby might grow into an "independent" adult... although i don't know much about bearded dragons, maybe they're all cuddly lol. I'm speaking from what I know about parrots. People get young budgies because they tend to be more trusting and forgiving of mistakes. But once they mature all the charm goes out the window and hormonal hell breaks loose. And when the birds are proper adults, their personalities can be anything from a zen master to a jealous freak, and it's impossible to tell from looking at the chick's behavior. I also think that's another good reason to not keep single budgies. If you have more than one you can still tame them, it will take a little more time, but then the bird has more social connections in which to distribute their energy.
Ok that's totally off topic, sorry! I love Norbert, he's got great eyes :D
I adopted a boy beardie who was just about 2 years old from an owner who didn't have time to take care of him. He had barely been socialized at all, so I was expecting a bit of a trial as well, but it took barely any time at all for him to become an absolute lover who won't go to sleep unless we're cuddling~
He's been the light of my life ever since, and I couldn't agree with you more about why adopting an adult is preferable. Beardies are truly magical!
So exited for this!!! I got a boy too and i love your guidens😍🥰
I agree with your promotion like adopt don't shop. It's not as uncommon as people might think about reptiles needing a new home. It's very common for animals of all species including reptiles.
I absolutely love bearded dragons! I had a friend growing up that had a few different reptiles and her bearded dragons were my favorite. They're so friendly
Wow-what a big beardie! Thanks for sharing, an awesome channel!
I totally understand the impulse adopt.
A friend late last month told me she had a friend looking to rehome a beardie, and of course she thought of me. 😅
I was originally going to get him just to get him out of the bad situation. I volunteer at my local reptile show and know people who take in people's mistakes to care for themselves.
Well, add me to that list of people because I fell in love with him and decided to keep him. 😅
Congrats on Norbert. So glad you and all your animals are safe.
I love the blue furniture and blue walls and I honestly like the steamer right there. Lol
Omg!!! My bearded dragon is named Norbert as well and I adopted him almost a year ago and he is 5 and a half years old! He is the best little guy and I'm so glad I adopted an adult bearded!
Norbert is adorable! My sister has a dwarf beardy which is a big sweetie! I really missed you Em! Even if I stalk your insta haha Glad to know that you and your family are safe ❤
I live in San Antonio and learning as much as I can about Beardies and now Uros before I offer myself to be adopted by one. I grew up in the Florida Keys with wild/tame Igies and King snakes. My questions to you is this: If I use local ground elements (rock/sand/gavel), how would I sanitize/sterilize it? I believe in well ventilated environments. How "clever" are each as far as being escape artists (screen gauge)? Thank you for insightful, educational, and VERY entertaining information. I am learning so much and feel more and more confident in this devotion.
I may have slightly impulsively bought a beardie as well but i’ve wanted one for years and now 2month phoenix is as spicy and adorable in his massive 1x2x6
It's so adorable how he just clings to you 😄
I adopted a bearded dragon a few years ago and he was in a 10 gallon tank.. as a two year old adult. He couldn't move or turn around, he was only able to sit in one spot. He got upgraded to a 4 foot enclosure :)
7:49 laughing on the outside dying on the inside... I know the feeling 😂
I have a rescued Chinese water dragon named Norberta! She is the best. I love Norbert, and I can't wait to meet your new water dragon babies!
I’m the same way honestly. It’s always the animals with a little more attitude that draw me in and I tell myself “challenge accepted”…which is why I’m having a blast with my savannah monitor and green ameiva 😁😁
Norbert is adorable! I've always wanted a bearded dragon, they're so pretty!
i love my beardie and i rescued him from this family that did not take care of him whatsoever (not to mention i revived him twice for them already and i TRIED to get her to rehome him with us then but 🤷🏻♀️) he looked like a potato chip! now he is nice and healthy and happy :) have had him for almost 2 years now his name is Godzilla
Hi have not watched you in while. I lost one of my rescued Beardies back in November I took it the veterinary several times I hand fit and everything. His previous own didn't take care of him right. I still have my other rescued Beardie Aurora. She doing great. Even without her front hand. She only has one good hand. It hard for her to climb. Adoption is always better
You show him love he loves you that’s love he feels you special in your heart deep in your motion
I'm going to have bearded dragon (I must get one )
Yes you must!! Check rescues! They have a ton!!!
I didn’t know you live in Colorado now! I live in Aurora . Nature box is actually my go to for all my reptiles. They are amazing. I actually breed and sell them my isopods.
love this, i always have believed if there are any available for adoption its better to do this than get a new/younger unless there's a specific reason ofc, i'd feel irresponsible buying new whilst one was there for adoption even if its not quite the colour i first imagined. btw Norbert looks fantastic and he either really likes you or maybe planning on eating your nose im not sure hehe
I was considering a baby beardie when my husband got our adult beardie from a co-worker who was needing to re-home one. He is full grown, but we have never known his age. I named him Meatloaf (as he was a bit of a chunker when we first met him lol) . He is so sweet and attentive, and loves watching movies on the couch with me. I highly recommend adult beardies. Meatie is an absolute dream ❤️
I rescued another aussie two days ago:) he's amazing! I can't believe someone gave him up
We really like ur videos keep up the good work 🐉🦎
My local favourite pet store, does accept animals for re-homing. When I went to get my new baby rat to join the mischief I already have, they had an adult black male rat. The employees seemed fond of him. As I have female rats, I didn’t bring him home but he seemed really well behaved.
The reptile store u got This beardie is the same store I go to I love this store and I can swear I was eyeing this little guy before I saw he was no longer at the store 😂😂😂
So I'm new to this reptile hobby. About 10 months ago I got my first reptile which was a leopard gecko, and I ended up having the mindset that I want my first to be a rescue from PetSmart(they definitely aren't the best with their care for them but better than Petco so I wouldn't be as risky) but one day I ended up trying an unfamiliar place called pet supplies plus to see if their products are cheaper and potentially getting my gecko there. So I went to the reptile area, and btw, I love how they are set up with leopard geckos and other reptiles by themselves in their enclosure, so they already had my curiosity at that point. So I looked at the leopard gecko window, and all I see is this adorable baby gecko climb up its water dish and show itself it was so adorable and I knew it was destiny and I ended up not rescuing as that place knows what they're doing but I was fine with it. Well anyway the main reason why I prefer to get a baby reptile is that those are typically more available and I get to control how tame it is and I can build a "bond" better as it knows throughout its life it can trust me.
Em I go to a farm school in the uk and we have two beautiful bearded dragons there, you are right they are amazing.
This better be an in depth video because beardie's are *notoriously* neglected because inexperienced people impulse buy them and are overwhelmed by or ignorant of their specific care requirements and most of them on the secondhand market have problems like MBD, blocked femoral pores etc
I am so so happy I came across your channel! I was very recently babysitting (for the 2nd time) a young adult (?)female Bearded Dragon. They saw hiw much I loved her (have always wanted one) and they now have little time for her, so they've asked if I would like to adopt her...which I screamed yes! Lol.
So now I have a surprise baby I know little about, but am researching and learning every day. We are reasonably sure she's a she (we've named her Olive), but I'm terrified of her becoming egg bound any time in the future. I have a chronic illness and mental health issues so can only work about 2 days a week. This means I have plenty of time to spend with her, but limited budget. What can I do to help her not get egg bound??
Sorry about the life story, just wanted to explain the situation 🙂
I have 12 animals (2 fish, 5 lizards, 3 turtles, 1 tortoise, and a bird) most of them are rehomes I agree with adopting even though I never went through an actual agency or anything. I never planned on keeping a beardie then a friend called she found a little one outside of her apartment and once it was decided I was keeping her I was actually excited to have a young one (vets guess was 4 months in may so now she’s about a yr) all of my other pets were adults shes my one that I actually got as a baby but adults are awesome!!
I’ve had a Bearded Dragon before from when he was a baby. I had to rehome him because I just couldn’t afford his up keep at the time. Im hoping to maybe one day in the future getting another one. I learned from having Axel I would prefer an adult next time around.
Me encanta 😍
Eres la mejor sigue así 🤗
Hi i love your videos since i love ferrets my mother is letting me get on i know this is out of video but i was just going to say i have a fundraiser but i won't put the link as that's kind of begging but if anyone ask i will give them the link but you make me happy when i have panic attacks i recently got them and i hope anyone with panic attacks is doing better and i love animals i always wanted to be a veterinarian !!
Halfway through: “I don’t want to sit on you anymore, lady! Let me go explore!” 😂
That majestic pose around 19:15! 💕
I used to have 2 beardies, we named them Rocky and Apollo, after the main characters in the Rocky films. I miss them, our home wasn’t suitable for them (humidity).
I'm glad you addressed the steamer in the background lol I had questions.
We need the back story on it! 🤣
We got a rescue bearded dragon from a friend who couldn't afford to take care of the dragon anymore. It was only temporary at first but when we were taking better care of this dragon than the previous owner and even better than our friend who had the dragon. We wanted the dragon to not have to move around anymore and to be taken care of well, what we could provide, so we asked our friend if we could just..... Have her and our friend said yes. So we have a female bearded dragons named Genevieve. Gigi for short.
I looooove your bearded dragon is super cute!
Isn’t he the best? ☺️☺️
Woohooooo bearded dragon uploads!! I just got a baby 2 months ago and have been doing it blindly without emzotic
I wonder if Norbert's original owner will ever see this. Congrats on finding this little guy 🥰💕
Love your videos
I love your videos so much ❣️
Thank you for being here to watch!
@@Emzotic You're so welcome ❣️
I made the mistake of buying a baby beardie from Petco & she didn't make it. Even the vet I took her to told me I was doing everything perfectly & she still passed. My second beardie, whom I still have today, was about a year old when I first got her. I got her from a small local breeder & she was so much easier to take care of. She is now about 5 & she is my baby. I would also definitely recommend getting more of an adult.
Excellent video
How To Train Your Dragon is my favorite movie 😍 and just look at your dragon boy! I've never seen a (real) dragon that big and cuddely. I am in love! 😍 But I have enouhg in my kitten and all my rats (I am a breeder of pet rats) 😘
While I don't want a bearded dragon right now I do eventually and I will more then likely get an adult. I am currently looking for a cat for myself and people keep saying I should get a kitten but I would much rather get an adult from a shelter because not only are there a lot of them but they are harder to adopt out plus with how my work is right now it will be better for both me and the cat to get an adult. Plus with adult cats you know their personality with kittens it can change. A good example is my best friend's mom's cat who was super sweet kitten but when she became an adult turned into a demon cat who will hiss at you if you look at her sometimes.
I'd actually really like a bearded dragon, but unfortunately, I can't afford it atm.
But, hopefully I'll be able to later on.
My Smaug Welcomes Norbert to the creature crew!
I would prefer an adult for all of the reasons you stated. Mostly the bugs. I'm looking for my first beardie baby (all of my pets are my babies no matter their age) right now. I won't settle for any beardie. Gotta be a got fit for me.
this is so wild, I just had a nightmare about a bearded dragon.
Were you a superworm?
@@Emzotic hahaha no, but it was attacking me like I was 🤣 been missing you em!!
Maybe one day I'll get a reptile. However, I would really like a uromastyx. They're cool ^-^
Yes! I totally agree. I love them!
Our uromastyx hates everyone. I wish he didn’t.
@@Evolutionbcs why did this make me laugh so much lmao. I love uromastyx they have such interesting personalities
I just got my bearded dragon 2 weeks ago and I love him sm does anyone have tips on how to get him used to fruits and veg and he didn't have much access to them in is old place
Hi Em , how are you ,, nice video ... love from India ~Petbiker
Funnest thing to me is the coincidence that he is named Norbert because I used to work with a bearded dragon named Hagrid
i have a leopard gecko and i’ve been thinking about asking for a bearded dragon soo i’ve started doing my research but i was wondering if they shed like leopard geckos do 🤔
Heyyy guess what i just adopted two more ferrets into my ferret troop CX did a some visits and slowl introduction of each other there was no bitting there was some bum sniffing but other than that they got along great. Except my mini queen beanie baby she hasnt adjusted to the new guys and decided dads bed is better away from the trio of boys
