Thick tail...fat pads on the head...body looks rounded...no bones...good muscular legs. She is fine. Ive never weighed any of mine to be honest...they all grow and develop differently and really I dont worry about their weights that much. My new rescue is underweight...his legs arent well...

That is a good statement..."what you can reasonably offer and keep in stock". I honestly don't see how people mitigate having 5-6 different insects going at the same time. Ive got a tank of breeder dubias...a tank of feeder dubias...and a shoebox of supers. Ill randomly pick up BSFL or a...

All normal considering what she has been through. She went from a home which probably received good care...which kind of decreased due to their situation...then she was moved to you a giant human who she doesnt know and doesnt have a relationship with probably with a different feeding schedule...

Kale is fine...its one of the greens i feed most often. Have you tried some fruits? Also changing the texture of the other veggies may help..grated for example. Otherwise just feed the healthy stuff to your feeders...she will get some of the nutrition and don't stress over it. Some lizards are...

Dubia roaches I feed more than any other feeder. I do feed some superworms to those who will eat them during the week...and randomly some BSFL as a treat. Rarely a hornworm...I would say its about 60% roaches, 30% superworms, and 10% other.

Thank you! He is quite foul tempered at times ;)

Ive always fed mine kale regularly...they prefer it to collards and well I do too. They will eat the collards but Arugula and Kale...are their preferences. Lizards like people have preferences some beardies are the equivalent to our chicken tender ordering friends who have the pallet of a child...

Kale, collard, arugula, yellow squash, any sweet bell peppers, carrots, grapes, raspberries, strawberries, and cantaloupe...that's what my crew will eat.

No he isnt bad...just some slight signs and he is a bit scrawny. I had just heard of people correcting mild MBD in young dragons...and since Skittles has a pretty mild case was wondering what methods people had used with success.

I adopted a "adult" male beardie from a reptile rescue group last week. He is 17" however is literally half the size of my other guys which mind you is still not a terrible body mass especially considering the condition it was in when the rescue took him in which was skeletal. He required force...

Or perhaps you are analyzing this to an extreme? Keeping healthy pets and taking proper care of an animal does involve some science but it is more of an artform of knowing your particular animal. If your animal will only eat dubia...arugula...peppers...and strawberry as an example that is what...
