LOL Your almost an aussie Liegh :shock:

Ya know all our lingo hahaha . Ill be sayin stone the bloody crows if ya beat us in the Rugby
NRL

muhahaha .Well the baby has a few problems he yaps at his food and has trouble swallowing , his head when he runs wobbles like them dogs on the back ledge of cars , got me even eating he has to be hand feed bits of chicken its like he is drunk as a skunk
poor little guy wo

nt be going up to the farm , not the way he is now .His sibbling came in a week ago chewed up by 2 little dogs , as there is a cycle path @ the back of the centre . So iam having to tube feed cause his head is all over the town trying to pick up his dinner .He,s sisster is doing better at the centre , she just got bitten so he isn,t growing as fast as her his tail is still small. Bits of chicken he eats like a person with chronic parkinson disease. There ya go all the lecturers tell me to put them to sleep and concentrate on the ones that will have a good quilty of life. But ive only ever done one . Cause ive seen reptiles get better or adjust really well to trauma so ill keep yall posted i promise .

Honey is 1 that got choped up by the P.T.O Tractor lawn mower lost a leg and alot of meat of her back , but she drags herself around the garden enjoys her sunny spot . So ill let some time go see if the brain or kneck heals ... Thats how olive look now not a year till 16/3
Thanx for well wishes

I've seen reptiles heal very well from some incredibly bad injuries that should have killed them. Turtles smashed and their shells repaired with epoxy, a snake with his head stomped on by some brat kid with heavy boots, needed tube feeding, but did really well once the jaw healed. I think reptiles can heal in incredible ways if just given the chance, and I wanna thank you for not giving up on your Stumpies, and for giving them that chance!
I think they'll get better, they just need a little more time than the ones with less severe injuries.

You're amazing, Deadeye! :thumbs:

DeadEye, you and your family do some awesome work for all those animals! Thank you.. and thanks for keeping us updated on the little crow victim's progress. I hope his CNS issues improve and he gains some control of his noggin' soon. He's in good hands, though

Good thing you're looking after these animals, thank you. there are never enough people looking and caring for animals who need it.

I hope the little guy fully recovers. :thumbs:
