My daughter (16f) has two pet lizards. She’s had them for about two years. They’re her responsibility and hers only. She usually fed them and refills their water whenever she comes home from school.
Two months ago she got her first job. She works some days after school and on weekends. So I understand she’ll have to adjust their feeding routine a bit. When she’s not at work or school, she’s out with her friends.
Since she has started working she’s been forgetting to feed her lizards. There’s even been instances where she has went days without feeding them. Even when she’s home I remind her constantly and she still doesn’t feed them.
About two weeks ago I did tell her if she didn’t keep up with feeding them regularly, I was giving them away to a shelter.
