She is so fussy and only really loves her crickets.
Is it normal for eastern bearded to be kind of skinny?
Does anyone have any ideas of what could fatten her up a bit?? |

The weight drops off them very quickly giving them an unhealthy appareance. I just made a thread today about my P.barbata and they look fairly underweight, thing is, they had eaten heaps of vegies, fruits and insects earlier that day.
Don't worry about your Eastern Beardy, I'm sure its fine!
