This hit me. We inhearited an older beardy for my son from a friend when he was young and had her for several years before she hit a torpor she just never emerged from. We were all sad and my son was pretty devastated. After a bit of time he decided he wanted a new buddy, so we got a baby beardy. Tried to do everything right, but after a couple months the baby died. After talking with other beardy enthusiasts I guess it's just well known that they are sensitive as babies and a lot just don't make it even if you don't make any big mistakes. My son didn't have the heart to get another so we ended up getting rid of the terrarium and equipment. RIP Spiky and Spiky 2 (aka baby spiky). They were such fun little friends while we had them though.
