Good mornin, Beardie world!

I have rescued a 4 year old Beardie, Salacia, on Friday and she seems to be a little skinny. What's a good way for me to fatten her up a little bit?
 
i know waxworms are high in fat, but i wouldnt suggest feeding a bunch all at once. might be TOO much.
but i could be wrong about that.

Hornworms are higher in fat as well, and superworms are higher in fat than crickets. If she is truly underweight, I would feed a little extra at each meal, adding in some of these fattier foods. Don't give her too much at once, and make sure you are supplementing with calcium and vitamins. If she was underfed she probably didn't her needed supplements either.

Great to know she will be well taken care of now!

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
