Nova is about 15-16 months old, a solid 19ish inches and 1.5lbs--a bit over 700g, I believe. Our vet said she is technically overweight and she could benefit from loosing some, but it's not detrimental right now. But I think it may be uncomfortable for her, she's been snorting more than usual when I pick her up. No outright wheezing or acting like she can't breathe, just that little outward snort they do sometimes.
But how do I do that.? She eats a few bites of her salad everyday, (kale, collards and turnips) and if it's a day she eats, she'll eat maybe four small superworms and/or a couple dubias roaches and maybe a hornworm. She's relatively active, we take her out all the time and her all time favorite thing is to run around the house and she will run constantly. She's the most active of them all. I don't understand how to...put her on a diet or help her loose weight. Feed her less.? Morally, that'd make me feel bad because she hardly eats as it is, part of the issue we were having with her when she originally basically stopped eating was that she wasnt eating (or would only eat one or two worms every few days) and was still gaining weight and I think that's still the case. What can we do to help her.?
