size weight

[vmanilova]

is 391grams a normal weight for a 17 inch 2 year old beardie? he was brumating and was at 408 grams, then when he woke up he lost to 391 and stayed at that weight for the past 2 months. is that a normal weight for him?

Pictures will help, dragons are usually better assessed by body condition rather than straight numbers.

he definitly needs to eat more. his fat pads on his head are sunken in

He doesn't always want to eat - I give him salad daily and he throws it around his cage mostly and that's it. I also offer dubia and horns daily - he doesn't always eat though. He was a bad eater for about a year now
It's not sunken, maybe a bad picture. But they are just a tiny pst flat I guess - not big for sure

He is not underweight at all. The structure of beardie heads varies from dragon to dragon. Some beardies have a flatter head, this dragon's head shape is fine and Dixie is quite robust.
