Fina and Samson (my daughters beardie) Had their weekly weigh-in this morning....before any food was offered.
Fina is just over a year old and weighed in at 276 grams. Miss Chunky gained 22 grams in a week. Here is a picture of her just after weighing:
Samson is about 8 months and weighed in at 158 grams. He gained 17 grams. Here is a picture of him just after weighing:
My questions are:
1. Samson seems a little skinny. He was pancaking in the picture so he looks much bigger than he is. His previous owners weren't feeding him properly so he was very small when my daughter got him. He shows no signs of MBD at all. He's just on the small side. Sometimes I can see his ribs when he isn't pancaking. His stools are fine and happen everyday. He gets a good soak at least every other day but he certainly doesn't love it like Fina. He's also very alert and lively! As long as he is gaining weight, is there anything that we should be concerned about?
2. I know that Samson is still considered a Juvenile so he gets phoenix worms twice a day and salad mix every day also. Is Fina considered an adult or a sub-adult? Should she also get feeders everyday or just every other day?
Any help would be appreciated!
