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.

OK...I changed the name of the post since no one responded to "Two fat beardies and one skinny". They really are the most beautiful to me...
Update: Since no one responded, I went ahead with moving Frankie into my room with the other two and, you got it, he ate two big meals the first day I moved him. Interesting. He has not eaten that well in a long time.

I am happy.

Since beardies are very social creatures, I totally believe that could be the reason. Being around people will probably help him out a lot. Let us know how he does now that he is in the room with people around.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
