AHBD":dsy97bqs said:Hi Beo....no one would be annoyed at your obsessing about your beardie. You just want what's best for him, and are trying to fine tune your care of him. My replies are not in any way meant with any annoyance, but just to put your mind at ease. To me, he looks quite healthy and alert. Now that you've weighed him, he could stand to gain 25 - 50 grams, but from looking at him , I wonder if your gram scale is correct ? He looks heavier. By the way, there are some overweight beardies on these sites , but very seldom does anyone advise against that. Some people seem to feel " the fatter, the better" but a fat beardie is not really a healthy beardie. Just like with people. As for his wrinkly skin, he can fill out a bit, but he is certainly in no danger. They survive in a rough habitat in the wild, they are used to going for long periods without food and water, and pics of wild beardies are always on the slim side. Feed him the medium locusts, superworms, as much veggies as he wants and very little fruit. I'm glad that he likes to snuggle with you, he looks very well cared for already and he looks like he will be a happy addition to your family and your very fave reptile buddy.

You can give him a soak in some warm water to help rehydrate him. Also, if he is actually eating his whole salad, you can try giving him more. Most people (myself included) just leave salad in the viv throughout the day so they can munch whenever they want.I know in another thread, you mentioned being worried about his weight, but from what I can see, he has excellent body mass, and doesn't appear to be under fed at all.
