Saggy beard?

niddy Jul 27, 2008 09:09 PM

My Minerva has the saggiest beard! Is that normal? Could it be age? I know she is at LEAST 5 yrs old if not older.

Thanks, y'all!

I'd say it's normal also. Some have a lot of skin there. Bet it gets streched tight when she inflates her beard though.

niddy Jul 29, 2008 12:09 PM

OK thanks guys! And yes she can puff it pretty big! She hasn't done that since I got her a year ago. For the first week, she was "puffed to the max." I thought she was going to be my aggressive one, but I was soo wrong...she's my gentlest one.

Beachbeardies--She IS overweight. Dunno her exact weight, but she has quite the tummy. She's 14 1/2 inches.

Thanks again!
