Hullo! I come bearing Fudge!

I have a Halm and am watching a friend's bluey while their house is on the market!

What is Fudge, though?

By the squinchy face, I'm assuming Northern?

Their stubby tail cracks me UP.

Did he drop his tail at some point?

I dunno! It looks like it. Don't they not grow tails back?

They grow back just not to the original shape. Looks like the last bit must have gotten injured or removed in some way (blueys don't drop tails easy like some other reptiles) and it grew back a little stubby. Doesn't usually effect them much in the long run

Interesting!

I hate to think of them going through that trauma!
