Unhappy Becky's Beardies has closed down.

Hiya Guys & Gals,

It upsetting for me to annouce that Becky's Beardies has now closed down after running for 5 years.

Due to the credit crunch I could nolonger afford the upkeep of my beloved Beardies and due to financies I have been forced to sell up.

This is very heart breaking for me but at the end of the day my family has to come first and I did not want my beardies to suffer because I could'nt afford to feed them etc.

So I decided it was best for my family and my much loved Beardies to sell up. I have kept back Snoopy & Shelby and one of Mindy & Kamu's babies so I have not left the hobby altogether I will just be a keeper now rather than a breeder.

On another note: Spike my old boy passed away last Friday. He was really showing his age and over the space of 2 days just went down hill. He was our first beardie and this plus selling up my beardies has left me at an all time low.

Things have been very hard in the past year and i'm hoping there is light at the end of the tunnel.

I may start up Becky's beardies again in a couple of years depending how we are financially and if i'm ready again.

I've met so many fantastic people over the years and made many friends who I will keep in contact with so don't worry I am not going to fade away.

I would like to Thank all those people who have contacted me saying how sorry they are and wish me well for the future. It really does mean a lot to me and I will never forget.

The Beardies have been sold on and are now located in Nottingham. I'm still about if anyone needs advice or a chat so don't hesitate to contact me.

All my love,

Becky Wheeler xx

It is such a shame but like you said you have to put your family first. Hope to see you around the forum and sorry to hear your boy passed on.

All the best Dave and Amy
