i have 2 females and a male crestie, I have had the male since it was 2 months old and have only had the females for a couple months, and one of which has laid it's first clutch of eggs that so far are looking good.



as far as i know the females are about a year and a half ol. my male however is just shy of 1 year, i think!



my question pertains to the male. it seems as though he has stopped growing and putting on weight and is considerably smaller than the females. he seems a litle on the skinny side. his appetite is fine. i feed them 10 crickets, 3 times a week and put baby food with CG diet and calcium in there enclosure 2-3 times per week.



as of late, my male has had a little bit of swelling at the vent and his under side has a red tinge. could this be parasites? i keep their enclosure quite clean and they all seem active and normal.



any comments, advice, etc??



thanks in advance!
