Beetlejuice has had the best day today. He seems more comfortable today, and has been drinking a ton of water. He had deer back strap, thank you Summer, who so kindly gave me to feed to the gu’s. He ate very well today and has so much more energy today. Beetlejuice says hello and thank you for supporting him in his journey to his forever home. Aimee

Harmony checking out the house today.

Beetlejuice Update, Beetlejuice was a little more uncomfortable today with his mouth. He wanted to eat, but was too u comfortable. So I gave him some Meloxicam to ease the discomfort. Tried feeding again, and he was able to get 2 reptilinks down. He’s drinking 48 oz of water, measuring by bottled water today. I keep a case in my bedroom where his enclosure is. I’ve also moved Harmony to another enclosure, as his discomfort was starting to show when he was posturing to Harmony. We have a reptile dental wash coming. The vet wanted to wait on a vet visit to let him settle, but it’s time for another visit and see how we can make him more comfortable. He’s letting me cuddle with him and giving lots of kisses. He’s pooping every day and urinating lots. He was free roaming a lot today.

We had a big beautiful tegu named Beetlejuice that was surrendered yesterday. This is not a story for the faint of heart, as the heartbreak of this family surrenendering Beetlejuice was filled with only memories of his previous owner. Beetlejuice and his owner lived in Austin, Texas and we will use the letter G for his owner name. G had bought Beetlejuice as a baby, and did so much research on owning tegu’s. G spent day and night bonding and creating a bond of love and trust. G’s dream pet was a Tegu. G brought home Beetlejuice in 2019, and sadly was passed away, at the hands of a criminal. With the grief of his wife and family, Beetlejuice, was the only living memory that they could hold onto, and his wife being severely physically disabled, they had a family friend caring for Beetlejuice. Unfortunately, there was no knowledge of tegu care and husbandry and Beetlejuice was not handled for the next 5 years. With the help and encouragement of G’s sisters, they convinced the heartbroken family, to finally surrender him to NTRR. Beetlejuice is emaciated, extremely dehydrated, has severe MBD. Beetlejuice juice has a very long road of rehabilitation and recovery. He will be seeing our exotic vet this week, for an emergency appointment. We see and hear so many stories about reptiles that were not cared for properly. THIS is not one of those stories. This is about grief and loss for the family, but mostly for G’s beloved Beetlejuice. We will keep his sisters updated on his journey to recovery, as they drove all the way to Central Texas, in the rain and cold to pick up Beetlejuice and then back to Plano, last night. Their was lots of tears, as they said goodbye, but they were beyond grateful knowing that Beetlejuice is in our rescue and he will be loved and well cared for, until we find him his forever home.
