chubby dragon!!!

emzi_b Aug 27, 2003 06:30 PM

ive recently noticed that one of my male jeuvenile chinese water dragon is looking a bit overwieght! he eats well - about 3 fuzzies a week, supreworms most days and the odd earthworm. he's definitely a male so not with eggs. i bring him out of his viv everyday in the hope he'll get some excercise but he seems to prefer relaxing on the back of the sofa!! any ideas on how i can get him 'back into shape'?! sorry if this seems like a wierd question!!!!

My male seemed chubby and then "grew into" his weight. He always seems a little bit overweight before a growth spurt. He eats 2-3 pinkies every other day (and vitamin sups). I'll post a pic soon. He just had a shed...
