In Memoriam: Mushu the Bearded Dragon 2022-2025

It’s with a heavy heart to announce that Mushu, our pet beardie and often the muse of various imagery I’ve used on social media, has passed away after a battle with illness.

When we chose to adopt a beardie, we were presented with two identical baby clutchlings. Mushu had apparently been bitten badly by another dragon and had a toe missing, which tugged my heart strings from day 1. We’ve been fortunate to watch our little buddy grow into a vibrant, and somehow very personifiable beardie for a typically isolated species. He’d been with us through a particularly rough period, becoming known humerously as our “emotional support dragon”.

To start off, this is not a “I’m quitting” post - don’t worry. But this should clear up why I’m ‘ignoring’ some actions.
