[QUOTE="smaugthebeardie3756, post: 1992597, member: 113095"] I don't see anything glaringly wrong with him. Fat pads look good, no ribs visible. You can tell sex by lifting the tail straight up while s/he is flat and look right above the vent. One bulge just over the vent is female, two bulges going up the tail on either side is male. If you still can't tell that way, shine a flashlight from the back so you can see the silhouette and the same rules apply. The size could be that s/he is a young adult and still growing, or it could be pet store genetics. If s/he was a rescue surrendered to the store, it could be from poor care previously that could have stunted the growth. My guy has only recently started taking a real liking to his greens. Before he was similar to yours. He seemed to prefer big leaves waved in front of him, and then he would take a couple bites and be done. If he got hungry enough he would eat out of his bowl, but that was very hit or miss. Just in the last week or so, he has started eating out of his bowl almost every day. Bee pollen seemed to help pique his interest, and consistently feeding greens at least a couple of hours before bugs helped too. I estimate his age at about 14-15 months, so it is also possible that he is just getting older and his needs/wants have changed. If you have or can get a better idea of age than just "adult," it might help determine where s/he should be and what kind of plan to make if they aren't there. [/QUOTE]
