Is my bearded dragon bloated?? PLEASE HELP!!

[reptilesandhorses101]

Rokko is a little bloated. I think. I dont know what it is though can someone please help!

 

[Damieboo]

Can you provide any more details? Is it around his armpits, his ribcage, or his abdomen? Did he recently eat a big meal? Has he had a bowel movement recently?

A photo would be very helpful to.

It depends on where you think he looks "bloated." A picture of the area would help more than words

 

[reptilesandhorses101]

He is doing very much better with his bloating but i have started to notice that his growth is getting a little weird? He looks abnormal small quite often? Any more tips.. sorry for the lack of post

And if you need any information here it all is about my little boy Rokko:
- 150 watt heat lamp
- reptisun 10.0 UVB lamp(just bought new one after 6 months)
- about 10-15 crickets everyday
- a small salad on Sat and Sun
- last vet visit was at 4 weeks ago

As the others mentioned, a picture would be very helpful. Sometimes when describing these things in words, it's better to see it.
How old is your beardie?
What size viv is in in?
What is his measurement from nose to tip of tail?
How much does he weigh?

He needs to be eating a lot more crickets then that, feed him all he wants twice a day and give greens everyday too. He isn't going to grow without proper food.

 

[reptilesandhorses101]

So how many crickets?

 

[kaylorin]

As many as he will eat in a 15 minute period, 3 times/day.

Well my lil beardie is about to be 5 months old and i feed her twice a day... she eats like around 24 crickets a day.. if i put more than 12 she wont eat them at all.. :roll:

 

[Gail]

I don't feed crickets, I use roaches or super worms but my 7 months old can easily eat 50+ roaches a day. If you are feeding crickets, its best to buy them in bulk online. You can get 1000 for a pretty decent price, a lot cheaper then buying them at a petstore.
