50 grams underweight

[babyfigment]

My baby is around 17.5 inches long, a little over a year old, and quite underweight. During his last vet appt, my vet suggested getting him up about 50 grams, though he wasn’t overly concerned. He’s always been skinny but he is not malnourished, he still eats every day and more than once a day.
He had meal worms, crickets, arugula, and squash most days w the occasional super worm. He has been on baby food on and off due to a RI and a mouth injury.
His fat pads are normal, his calcium is fine, and he’s still active. He poops almost every day w out issue.
Any suggestions on how to get him up to weight? Should I continue baby food on top of what he’s already eating? Should I try other insects? He’s a little over a year so ik he needs lots of veggies, are there any that will help him gain weight?

A good diet of good staple food and fresh greens daily -- you want a healthy weight and gradual --- I would add some dubia roaches to his diet also some butter worms and some horn worms --- alternate those into his diet --- I would add turnip greens and some collard greens as well --- but feed him as much as he will eat ---

Hi there,

What is his current weight?

The goal should always be having a healthy dragon and a healthy diet. Just like humans, dragons come in all shapes and sizes. Many actually are overweight so yours might just be fine.

Do you have a picture?
