    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Why is it some dragons are BIG & BUFF while others r like the steve erkle or dragons? Is there a way to get a dragon to look BIG & BUFF? Oh and what r some things you can do to help them gain weight faster?...
 
Genetics and care. My male is very 'buff' but i give the same level of care/food to my female but she's small boned and more 'feminine' looking. But her sister looks more like a male! 'fattening' a beardie up isn't going to do any good. you need to give them a steady diet and let them delevop natural muscle.
 
Wekk by fattenign them up I mean this: Our male has just recently went down in weight ALOT! We feed him like we do our other male and female ( they r healthy as can be!) the vet said he has nothing wrong with him its just that he is losing weight more than he is gainging it..she checked for worms again ( he had tapeworms when we got him) but the test came out negative...she said to give him high protein foods and recommended a pinkie mice once a week to boost his protein..she said most people are weery abuot this but when we feed him his pinky we have to have a temperature of 110 degrees so he can digest it better..that and said putting him in warm water after too would help out. We have been feeding him this way for a week and he does eem to be gainign but I dont want to have to feed him pinkies like this his whole darn life!
 
the meds that he was on for the pinworms probably did a number on his system and may have affected his digestive tract, something that won't come up on tests. I suggest This to increase his natural 'gut fauna' and possibly Jumpstart to get him interested in eating more.
