fat beardies?

[Iamakel]

Hey guys, I feed my babies 2 times a day with baby Cinerea roaches for about 15 minutes each time. They look kinda pumped, they got a big belly though. What you guys think? Should I feed them once a day for about 10 minutes?

I don't know if you clearly see through photo, but they are fat.

Also, their father is fatty as well even though he doesn't eat much. Their mother eats a lot but she's still skinny.

their father:

Does the fat affect them? I keep them separately, but they stay together when eating and basking in the sun light outside.

They look very well fed and it's good that they have such appetites. Here are some of my babies from years ago :

It's when they near adult size that you need to be careful...too many beardies developing gout these days, probably due to high protein diets and lack of hydration.

You say the mother is thin, is she housed with the male ? If so, put him in a different tank so she is not stressed all the time from his presence and/or over-breeding. Do you have pics of her ? Be sure to feed her twice a day so she has a chance to gain her weight back + use calcium at least 3X a week.

The male is a bit on the chubby side but not bad. Focus on veggies more than insects for him.
