Cham is skinny?

[Rune]

I think my cham is too skinny, how do I tell? (I hope im not starving him..)
Also, how do you tell if they are fat/just right?

Usually if his fat pads, which are on top of his head, are sunken in means he's skinny. Or if the check bones, ribs and the bones near his tail are pronounced means he's really skinny and unhealthy.

I have been wondering the same thing. I took Rheagar outside last weekend for the first time, he was hatched Feb 11 and I had been feeding him at least 15 small Crix a day and have a mister that runs every 3 hours for 60 sec starting at 8 am and stopping at 8 pm. Also dripper that drips all day near his basking area about 3+ drops a min. I have had him about 3 weeks now. I took this photo last weekend he had just gone to the bathroom solid waste white and black. He has shed once that I know of since I got him LMK what you think. But he looked to thin to me so I have this last week increased the Crix to about 20 and he eats them all.

I personally don't think he is "too" skinny, he's skinny just like I am, the perfect kind.

I think he may be a little skinny. but not like dangerously so. I think also he is stretched out which can make him look more skinny. My male veiled Looked very skinny at first too, but after a few weeks of being at home, he fattened right up!

Try some worms to get some weight on your cham. Horn worms, silkworms and supers work great along with crickets.

Ok, Only problem is at my pet store they are very big. >.<
I will order some.
He is too skinny, right? Like, really really skinny?

Have you tried wax worms? They aren't the best nutrition and normally should be a "treat" but they are really high in fat and they are small. You don't want them to become a staple, but it might be good to reboot his interest in eating. Also, most Petcos and Petsmarts have them.
