Five months ago, I took in an almost ten year old male beardie who has been a classroom pet for most of his life. He was thin, dehydrated, and impacted when he came home...not to mention his previous owners had never heard of a UV lamp. >.<
He eats well, though he vomits up crickets and mealworms so he has been eating greens and silkworms almost exclusively. A bath took care of the sand in his system and for now he's on paper towels. A fecal smear came back clean.
My question is...he has gained a lot of weight, but he still looks thin, and the fat pads on the back of his head are still concave. How can I help him to put on that last bit of weight and fill out?
He's a very good-natured little fellow and I want to see him fat and happy. Thanks in advance!
