[QUOTE="SHBailey, post: 1892261, member: 89387"] Yes it seems like I don’t get around to posting more often then every few weeks anymore these days. Sorry about that… :oops: Happy 32nd birthday. :) I can remember that when I was 32, I was at the height of my career as a system administrator at a small company in Southern California, and if some fortune teller had told me that 30 years later I’d be married to the love of my life, living in Alaska, and that I’d have a bearded dragon instead of a cat, I’d probably have told them they were crazy and demanded my money back. You never know where life’s going to take you. I guess I qualify as an old stick-in-the-mud now. When did that happen? :? I always have to remind myself that when you put a beardie on a scale (or any other animal for that matter, including humans), you’re not just weighing what’s part of the beardie (bone and muscle and fat reserves and organs, etc) but also stuff that’s just passing through (food and water and poop) so it can be hard to figure out if you’ve got any real weight loss worth worrying about. It sounds like you’ve run the gamut of testing just about anything that could be wrong with Broly so you can probably figure that his weight loss was just a fluke and that he’s basically healthy. And even though 16 grams may seem alarming, it’s actually only around 3% if his usual weight is around 500 (I did the math :wink: ), so maybe not hugely significant as long as it didn’t continue and he gained some of it back the next time you looked. We always weigh Puff after his bath (when he is most likely to have pooped) and before his meal, and my husband has been charting his weight on the computer. He has a little system of color coding the dots and lines on the chart depending on whether or not Puffie pooped right before he got weighed. Forntunately, Puff’s weight has been fairly stable lately (more about Puff on my other thread). Anyway, I hope Broly stays healthy and doesn’t scare you with any more unexplained and/or significant weight loss. My husband has had the week off this last week but goes back to work day after tomorrow. He’s out mowing the lawn now – all this extra daylight makes the grass grow really fast, but we get lots of dandelions for Puff too. :) [/QUOTE]
