I find it hard to believe that the rspca have passed on an animal to someone who knows something about them! well done.

If you can educate them in the process so much the better.

Thanks guys. The beardie is under weight, dehydrated and has runny eyes. I got him booked in at the vets at 3.20pm today, that was the earliest I could get. He is showing signs of life now, thankfully.

No normally the RSPCA are crap at give the animals away to any tom dick or harry or put them down as they know no better, i think it was sarcasm on the part that they've finally seen sence and given an animal a second change with the guys at Reptilerescueden so best of luck to you.

Just got back from the vets. The beardie has confirmed as dehydrated and very under weight, with weepy eyes. So it's likely he will make a full recovery, with lots of TLC, which obviously is good.
But what isn't great is the fact that I have been given a code to claim for the vet fees, but the vets are saying i need a voucher of some sort. The RSPCA gave me NO paperwork, other than a corner of a piece paper with the code on. I have rang the RSPCA and they are closed until Monday now. What a bloody performance!
