I have three beardies....Frankie, Rosie and Teensy Kitty.
Kitty and Rosie are both fat and healthy. See... but Frankie remains so thin. :? This is Rosie...

Frankie...[img]http://i1072.photobucket.com/albums/w370/momswims/Frankielooksoutwindow.jpg[/img]
They all have the same bulbs, same vivs, same food, same temps. The only difference is location. Rosie and T Kitty are both in my room where the family hangs out all day. Lots of noise, lots of attention, lots of family around. Frankie is alone in my teenager's room. My teen does not hang out in his room and Frankie is alone much more than the others. He eats maybe 1/3 the amount the two in the "hang out" room eat.
He craves attention, tries to climb out of his viv when you put him back in it after some snuggle time. He loves to be cuddled and always looks so forlorn when you put him back.
Is it possible that the lack of socialization is a factor in him not eating? It is the only factor that is different. [img]http://i1072.photobucket.com/albums/w370/momswims/Frankieandmommyplay.jpg[/img]
I have tried everything to get Frankie to eat better. He has been tested for parasites two weeks ago and was clean.
Feel free to weigh in. I am curious as to your opinions. I just want him to be healthy and happy.
