I'm gonna do it!

Postby Lucifer_Spades » Sun Feb 24, 2008 1:46 pm

I'm getting another bluey! :ohyes:

Actually it will likely be 2 of them. I'm going to look at them this week. They are from 2 different people but one is a 1-2 year old who was rescued from a Petco, and has "a little mouthrot" that is being treated she didn't have pictures but I'll look anyway and knowing me I'll get...

The other was appearently actually found outside last fall and is pretty beat up but I got a couple pics of "him" and he looks sooo sweet and they just want a home where he can get more attention then they can give him.

I found them on craigslist, both have "adoption fees" but the beat up one is only $40 and the younger one is $150 but it's worthwhile because it comes with a complete 60gal breeder setup. $190 for 2 bluey's isn't bad anyway around here no matter what condition.

I'm all excited now!!

No idea, the 2 pics of the beat up one I got were pretty crappy, but I'm guessing it may be a mix as it has black legs like an indo but a temporal stripe and banding similar to an eastern or IJ. Here I'll post those and see what you all think...

The other one I have no idea but I would guess that coming from a petco it will be either Indo or IJ.

I'm not too worried about that for now as I don't intend to breed them, they will just be companions for me.

Wow, that is a pretty cool looking (though beat up) Bluey! That is odd with the black legs...everything else appears IJ...I can't wait to see more pictures when you get a chance. The differences in these animals is really amazing to me! :)

Me too! it's almost like they were waiting for me, I never go on craigslist I only went because i was bored and poked around to see if there were any in my area. I saw the add for the younger one with the cage and contacted them, then the next day i went to find the add again and the other one had just been posted that day so i contacted them too.

The first one looks in need of a good bath and a meal, after a shed he'll be like a new Blue with you. I'll take a guess and say IJ Merauke.
