Tis a week for self judgement, apparently. 💀

First, we caved and Jack got a very small just weaned rat from Petco bc... we're suckers and this is why we don't go in pet stores. She was the only small one and we do have space since we've lost a couple girls recently (Maven & Sauce).

Her name is Serotonin and she seems healthy other than being so young, at least. She was very jumpy at first, but calmed down after a day to relax. She's got Blueberry & Chip in the hospital cage with her for now and they've made a great cuddle puddle.

We WERE going to see about adopting a couple more girls from a CL post. But then. THEN. Bc it's us and we're the notorious Animal People to everyone who knows us. Jack's coworker offered us a bearded dragon. Got it for kid, kid stopped caring, dragon is now 6 months old, time for a new home. Same old story.

We were going to say no, since it wasn't really an emergency. UNTIL we were told he was in a 20g tank with just the stuff that came with the pet store kit when they got him. 💀 Give us the dragon please.

We're NOT KEEPING HIM. We do not have money or space for a proper permanent set up for him. FULL HOUSE. VERY FULL. Buuuuut I have an empty 40 breeder tank, and we can set him up better than he is now, and keep looking for a good home for him.

I spent last night alternating between obsessively brushing up on beardie care info & going "why the fuck are we like this".

#fbw rambles #my pets #in which my house makes questionable decisions #but will hopefully turn out okay #i know the 40g isn't big enough either which is why we're not keeping him #but I'm already planning on getting the other heat and light supplies he needs to be better set up #so i can't really justify getting a $100 grow tent as well unless we end up stuck with him for a longer period #this is gonna kinda suck though #I've wanted a beardie since i tried to save a baby one when i worked at a pet store #gonna fall in love with the lil dude
