Really fat beardie.

i feel like this is a stupid question, but what is fatty liver disease?

Glad it wasnt anything worse than her just being a really overweight dragon. Definately cut down on the protein and stick to veggies for a bit. Obesity comes with it's own set of problems for all living things. Good luck and keep us posted :mrgreen: ....monitor her weight for time to time so you have a visual guide for yourself and can see if she is coming down in weight.

Speaking of fat, my Komez is 6 yrs old and today I gave him 10 superworms, is that bad?, do they stop eating if they are full?, will he get sick? :?:

fatty liver disease is exact;y what Im worried about at this point!
and thank you beardie guy.. i do have the list... now Im just trying new veggies to see if i can get her interested in something else for a change.. grated sweet potato is unfortunately a love of hers.. in fact, most squashes.. but eh starch ... I'm thinking i may cut them out altogether.. I tried feeding her organic dandylion greens and you would have thought I had called her hurtful names and took her best friend away.. but she does seem to like her turnip greens with her collards and mustard greens...
But she also seems to be ready to brumate..as shes getting far more sluggish than usual, shes cool and has that "leave me alone" look in her eyes so I may just have to take up this weight loss venture later.

Thank you so much for your suggestions I really do appreciate them!
