Since I'm still in the process of learning and whatnot, I feel like I've been asking a lot of questions, haha - but this is something that's seriously been eating at me.
My dragon looks to be significantly underweight. I at least know this isn't my doing, since I got him from a pet store that was more than likely not feeding him enough as a baby, but now I have him and it's my burden to try and get him at a healthy weight. When I say underweight, I mean he looks a lot skinnier than most other dragons I see; his belly doesn't even touch the ground when he's standing/walking. Point is, he's thin, and I worry he's too thin.
He has an appetite and everything - he gets veggies and phoenix worms daily, sometimes crickets. Eats well, defecates normally, is active and social. Seems healthy, but I'd definitely like to put some weight on him. Any suggestions on how to do that? What kind of foods/eating habits should I get him into?
I'd like to get him into roaches, but at the moment, my mom is dead set against bringing roaches into the house, so they're most likely not an option.
