Hey, guys, because I don't often look at KZfaq, I wrote some experience in rescuing bearded dragon as comments to avoid delaying some rescue inquiries. If you get a very sick bearded dragon, please make sure that you can provide it with a feeding box that can install UVB and UVA lights, which is very important. Don't be in a hurry to feed. You can mix electrolytes with drinking water to bathe it, but be sure not to use too much water to cause secondary damage. It shall be conducted in the insulation box as far as possible to avoid temperature loss. If it has survived the first day, it can be softened with some lizard solid food and fed with glucose or electrolyte (because the lizard food contains calcium, so I don't need to put calcium powder specifically) into a syringe. It can be injected into the mouth to see if it has a desire to eat. If it does, congratulations. It has a high probability of surviving. Repeat these steps in the next few days. When it gets better, it can try to feed insects. I recommend that dubia cockroach be fed with calcium powder containing D3 in oilseed lettuce. Of course, if your baby has some additional abnormalities, such as illness, it is best to go to a professional veterinary hospital for treatment. (Chachi probability is caused by calcium deficiency and long-term hunger)

Whoever lets their dragons get to this point are unfit to care for such beautiful and gentle creatures.

Thank you for saving him. This made me cry, i can't even write a comment properly .... I hope this little creature is doing okay !

That was beautiful that you saved that poor babies life. Nursed him back to health and now he's a fat and healthy lizard like he should be. I love it, he's so cute. Gold bless you 🙏 💛

When I got my sweet little lizard, he was struggling with various health issues too. Malnourished, underdeveloped, riddled with parasites, things like that. It took a long time, but he is now happy, healthy, and loving. For every horrible person who lets their pet get to such a point where it is barely alive like this little guy was, there is someone else like you, who will do whatever it takes to keep them alive. You are a wonderful person

It’s a shame people treat there pets like this. God bless you for saving him

I am so viciously angry that his last owner let him not eat for 6+ _months_ Thank you for helping him.

Thank you for saving this little fella. I dont understand why they wouldn't start force feeding if they dont eat for like 2-3 months let alone half a year..

You are a hero, truly. Thank you for giving him all the love and life he deserves. What a great turn around! Thank you for your selflessness, this baby needed you and you saved him. Im in tears. You truly are a hero. Lots of love to you and Chachi ❤❤❤

I know this post has been up for a while now. I just wanted to thank you and your mum for investing so much time and commitment to this beautiful bearded dragon. I know you love him now but it speaks so highly on your character that you didn’t walk away in the beginning. He looked like someone had put him into a dehydrator and forgot him. Thanks again for your devotion and for sharing that journey with us.

Awww. Balling my eyes out. Sweet little man. Thank you so much. He's so nice and fat now. ❤️

Thank God there's still someone that cares about a little dying lizard, i hope there's a lot more people that is still caring about animal's and not just think they're just an lizard

I’m sobbing. I am literally sobbing. Both over how sad and horrible his previous owners cared for him, AND HOW AMAZINGLY AND BEAUTIFULLY HE RECOVERED!!!! He bounced back amazingly and you did a wonderful job caring for him! Thank you for taking such good care of him. ❤️ I’ll admit this video really hits home for me, because I have a rescue beardie myself, named Mulder. He was in a very similar situation as Chachi was before, Neglected horribly and got really bad MBD which left him deformed somewhat and he has trouble walking sorta, but when I first got him he was really unresponsive and unalert, needed help eating and etc. But after several months of special care and attention and love and rehabilitation to him, he’s now 100% like a normal beardie that looks a bit different from the usual one. He gets around great, has an amazing appetite and is the sweetest most gentle and cuddly thing ever who loves snuggles and attention, he’s just like my other 4! Rescuing and rehabilitating bearded dragons is hard and sometimes heartbreaking, but in the end it is always worth it saving an innocent animal’s life. 💜💜💜 If any of y’all want to see how Mulder (and my other animals) is doing, check here: www.beardeddragon.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=257699&hilit=+Mulder#p1955322

Its remarkable how you nursed him back to health. Beautiful dragon & you really are an angel

It just breaks my heart to see animals go through this pain, im so glad you helped the poor thing! ❤😔

This is really a record. Thanks for expanding my knowledge. Prior to this video, I thought a bearded dragon in that condition has no chance of survival and the best thing would be to just put it in the refrigerator so it can go slowly. I fully expected this video to document how you cared for him for a week or 2 before one morning finding that he had died in his sleep. You have shown me a fighting spirit for survival I did not know these animals had.

this video made me cry...you did such an amazing job. Currently treating my new baby bearded dragon for an upper respiratory infection and he is weak and fighting,...this gave me hope. Thank you and many positive thoughts and love to you and to Chachi.

Oh man u SO SO SAVE HIM. He's a fat boy now...awwww. I LOVE THIS. Thank u in so kind. He's too cute

Im so grateful hes chunky now and still likes humans and hugs

That poor dragon! I am so glad you saved that sweet baby. People need to do their research before they get any pet. I have three and all have regular vet trips and follow ups and best husbandry that I can provide.

What a miraculous turn around! Wow! Beautifully done.

Thank you so much for saving this sick dying baby. He really needed you. It’s sickening how people all the time neglect their animals causing them to wither away like this. You truly saved this little one’s life and this brought so much happiness to me seeing the recovery.

Chachi best name ever! Ty for saving him.

What an amazing, resilient, strong souled fighter! Incredible what can be accomplished! Great job bringing him back to life and love! 💙🌻

I started crying one I saw the thumbnail and I knew I had to see him get better. You are an amazing person for nursing him back to health and happiness!! He is a beautiful creature that just needed a little love, thank you for showing him that love!!

Bless your and Chachi's hearts. We can all use a love story like yours during times like these.

These are the true overlooked heroes. I really can’t say much I love lizards and this is so amazing.

Thank you for helping that little sweet. He's so chubby now♥️

Thank you for saving this poor little guy. His owner was clearly extremely unfit to take care of him. Seeing these type of videos make me want to cuddle with my own beardie who I love so much.

How can people dislike this?? This is so beautiful! 🥺

Im cry so much but im still smile at the end (: you are a good person

Amazing to see how you saved this beardeds life , he looks plump and healthy now and so cute. Thanks for sharing this experience and for saving that bearded.

Incredible, beautiful video. Thank you for saving him.

It's amazing what you did for him!

You gave him tender loving care that's what he needed. You did amazing with him. Bless you

As a beardie owner this was so hard for me to watch you are an amazing person thank you for helping this poor innocent creature ☺️

This poor dragon. He was so close to death before you got him and I'm glad you took him. He's living the life of a rock star now. Thank you.

Little sister I am so proud of you.... God bless you and your beautiful beardie

This is amazing. Not only for Chachi to hold on for so long but for to be able to make such a recovery with your help.

I cried my eyes out on this one. He is so beautiful

i found one of my dragons dead when i came from work last night. So heartbroken .... Awesome video!!!!!!

Omg this made me cry. There needs to be more people like you. Thank you for saving this poor baby. When you first got him he looked like an over cooked piece of bacon or something and now he just looks like a fat happy and thankful dragon 😍

I burst into tears, poor little guy. He looks SO good now.

Holy crap. That owner was a monster for letting that poor baby get like that. I thought he wasn’t gonna make it, and some people wouldn’t even try saving him, but you have him a second chance and did. God bless you for saving his life and giving him one that he deserves. No little critter deserves such a thing. I hope he’s doing all right after a couple of years and I send my prayers. God bless you 🙏

Thank you for caring so much, to want to fight for his survival and to make him more to fight for it too may God bless you and everything you do keep on loving them animals

I’m so grateful you were able to bring him back and give him the life he deserves.

Wow...what an effort you put to save him 😭❤️❤️❤️

That was very kind of you to nurse that poor dragon back to health. I’m so glad to know he’s doing better now!

I typically skip videos of the such bcuz I just can’t take the initial few minutes (which usually contain all of the examples of extreme neglect). But I’m glad I watched until the end. Glad to have people on this planet that live to help other beings (4 legged or not). Kudos! And good luck Chachi!

I’m a new beardie owner and this touched my heart

This made me cry so hard! Both with anger that ANYONE would let an animal get to that point and happy years when I saw how he came back, and those colors are awesome! He's gorgeous 😍

I just love you for what you've done! For not giving up on him when everyone else did. Thank you for saving him. Hes really beautiful

Thank you for sharing this! You must be a very loving and caring person to have put the time into saving Chachi! I wish more people were like you!

This restored my hope in humanity

That was heartbreaking to see a bearded dragon clinging onto life I'm a bearded dragon owner myself and I make sure my dragon is happy still trying to bond with him as I've not had him long

Thank you so much for all you did, knowing their lives matter too. 💗

Your are a good person who did a good thing thank god we have people like you

Thank you for being such, loving caring people xxx

He looks so happy 😁❤️I’m so glad you saved him!🤗🥹😇

Bless you for saving this little guy. That’s absolutely horrible what happened to this poor beardie. Especially since this little one may be a juvenile. He’s absolutely beautiful. I’m glad he’s doing better.

God bless you. I cried watching this. He's so beautiful. 😍

i cried so hard at the beginning my heart literally hurt. it makes me so sad and angry that people dont do research and let these animals slowly die to mbd. im literally fuming.

You saved Chachi’s life. Thank you. ♥️🌷😘

👌 Great Job! 👍 You seem to know alot about these creatures and I congratulate you and Chachi on your success!!! We have 2 Beardies and love having them.

This poor angel! I own a bearded dragon and this is just sad to see! Thank you thank you THANK YOU for saving that poor little angel

I hope you become the most well known person for saving this poor little dragon. 💕☺️

À vet would have refused to care and would have put him down. You're a wonderfull person !!!! 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

I don't cry but this brings me to tears. Just came up on my feed. I love bearded dragons so much theyre such amazing creatures. One thing thats stuck with me about guys like this is that. They survive not just for themselves but for their owners. Because the want the love and attention. So to see this one holding on for so long showed that they want to live and be loved not casted away. And I agree with the statement of. If you do this you are unfit to have bearded dragons.

Wow, I'm so glad you saved him!! He's beautiful ❤️ also, he looks exactly like my female beardie, he has the same coloring! Citrus beardies are a beauty!

whoever did that to that adorable little dragon is BEYOND CRUEL. If you are gonna get a dragon, then treat it like family. I am planning on getting one, and i will make sure it will be as loved and healthy as possible.

Thank you. Thank you for saving him.

this is beautiful, I was in tears 💧thank you for saving him the world needs more people like you and me ♡

Chachi is a strong bearded dragon I'm happy that you rescued that poor bearded dragon I cried the whole entire video he didn't deserve to not get fed wow I'm hope chachi is ok much love to chachi God bless you ❤️❤️

Awwww, well done for saving this cute living and breathing creature

A few weeks ago me and my friend got a leopard gecko who was in similar condition. She started perking up at first but after a week and a half there was no hope for her. We named her Gizmo and she ended up passing away in my friends hands. I’m just glad she isn’t in pain anymore though

Bless you for caring for him it broke me seeing him like that

you’re such an amazing person with a beautiful heart that lizard needed you and you did everything to make him as happy as possible god bless you i know he will love you forever after that nourishment😍

Y’all did an amazing job taking care of him

Incredible! You should feel proud. 👏

Out here doing the lords work, you're awesome for this 👏🏻

Thank you so much for sharing this with us I just got one that looks like that he was left in the box in front of my local pet store and when I went in to get things for my animals I seen him in there and the owner told me what happened that morning when she went to open up the door there he was in a box I am trying to help nurse him back to health I called my vet which the closest reptile vet near me is 3 hour's away I'm still waiting for a call back so all the things I can learn how to help him is nice I don't understand why people let there animals get like this and then dump them like there trash I will do everything I can to try to save him but it really takes a lot of the reptile community to help other's learn I'm so glad the reptile community is growing and every one is always so caring in the comment section u did a wonderful job with urs I hope I have the same luck this one is struggling to breathe u can hear him take in a breath of air he can't open his eyes he is so weak he can't move 😭 any other recommendations would be so appreciated thank you

such an amazing recovery! hope he has a long and happy life, he’s been through so much.

You’re a wonderful person to have saved a living being in need.
