Scorch is getting REALLY FAT!

[riceko]

I'm worried I might be making her unhealthy by feeding her so much
I feed her anywhere from 15-25 crickets per feeding so 30-50 per day, and I make her a large salad everyday which she gobbles up... she LOVES salad
But her belly is getting huge... it drags everywhere she goes now. Should I be feeding her less?
I am planning on buying a scale to take her weight asap, but for now I can only go by how fat she is getting. Perhaps I will get a pic soon. Its hard to get a good angle of those tasty love handles. Ahaha.

How old is she and yes, you need to post a picture. Can she stand up and run without dragging her belly?

 

[riceko]

she's almost 8 months now, I was playing with her yesterday and yea she can run without dragging her belly but it hangs pretty low! I'll get a picture tomorrow for sure. Thank you for your response Gail

EDIT: I think she was bloated the day I had posted that... because her belly seemed much larger. Is it possible for beardies to get bloating?

Got some pictures:

Although tonight I am less concerned about her weight and more about her behavior. She's been uninterested in basking all day long, not getting on her log and hanging out on the ground. At one point I found her sitting up against her glass in the corner, she's never done that before. Poor baby was trying to go to bed since 4 and her bedtime is 7. She didn't even eat tonight. I hope it all goes away tomorrow... pleeeease no pinworms again >-<

yeah, its possible for them to bloat, Basti does it from time to time. She looks ok to me, beardies get pretty good bellies on them, if she gets arm pit fat bubbles then you are looking a a dragon getting over weight.

Arm pit fat bubbles? Sounds pretty comical, but I'll watch out for them!
