Question on weight?

Lately, I have noticed that my beardie has gotten skinny. So I started feeding him more, collared greens, meal worms, and crickets. He was getting fat, real fat. Then out of nowhere he goes to the bathroom back to back like 3 times and hes skinny again. It's like everything I feed him goes right through him and he doesnt gain an ounce. My lizard is almost a year old and hes just long and skinny. So I need some suggestions on how to bulk him up.

Thanks

Waxworms, superworms, and pinkies.
That should fatten him up. Everyone says that they are high in fat, so it might work.

I am no beardie expert, just to let you know ahead of time, I just have suggestions from other herp experience. Have you had him vet checked at all, it could be some sort of internal parasite or something along those lines.

Just trying to help,

I would get him checked out. It's possible he's got a problem like coccidia. Are his stool runny? A beardie 1 year old should have no problems gaining weight. Just throwing high fat foods at him isn't going to fix the problem. What kinds of greens are you feeding? Supplementation?
