Need some educated opinions - Fat or Healthy

Not open for further replies.
Fluffy has grown so much, but since we are new to having a beardie we want to check in and make sure she is healthy. We feed her 2x a day and she gets a pretty good variety: 6-10 large crickets (light calcium dust daily & vitamin dust 1-2x week), 1-3 superworms, and several small roaches along with a salad of mustard/collard/turnip greens with squash/bell peppers each time. We will give her butter worms/soldier fly larvae when we have them a couple times a week. Usually have to toss the salad by the next feeding because it doesn't all get eaten, but the bugs sure do. Is this too much, enough?

Here she is. Also, she seems to hang or sleep in really odd positions sometimes, but is totally able to jump up and run after her favorite bugs.

Guessing she is 8 months old? Got her July 5 from the pet store and she was about 7 inches, now she is about 18 inches nose to tail tip.

. This shows her belly that is hanging pretty low when she is on the ground.

This one shows an odd angle she is holding her foot, but she straightens it out when she climbs or runs around. Is that normal?

Thanks for any and all comments and assistance!

Yes, she looks quite healthy. She's fed good and well taken care of by all appearances.
When you got her, I would say at 7 inches she was about 2 months old so, you have had her for 4 months that would make her 6 months old.....WOW she gonna be a big'n!!!

Whoops, meant that she is now 17 inches, so not quite so big. Need to double check. Now that is 17 inches nose to tail tip. Still a pretty big girl? Glad to hear that she isn't too fat. Is it normal that she puts her feet in odd positions or is that something we need to keep an eye on?

As long as it isn't effecting her physically I wouldn't worry to much, they can do some really weird stuff at times, lol!

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!
