Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them.

    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....

I've been a little off with my ig's for a while, they're fed everyday just not enough...i am NOT a first timer..i've kept igs since i was 2, these 2 are adults and only the male has lost a little bit of weight, i know this may be a result of breeding season but they havn't bred yet, i love thses guys to death, i just want to know if you guys have any pointers on fatening him up again

thanks
 
I think you already know the answer here... you said they're fed every day, just not enough. To fatten your ig up, let him eat as much as he wants to. I know it can be hard to make that much salad... I found a type of pre-made salad in my supermarket that includes chickory, escarole and a little radicchio. If I mix this in with my collards and turnip greens, etc, it adds a good amount of bulk without taking ages to make.

Good luck. :)
 
thanks Kate

i've been feeding them each seperatly now for about 2 weeks, it seems to be having a good effect, i'll look for that pre made sald
 
you can also try iguana dust with every meal until you see some bulk--and Monster Diet 3- 4 times per week.
 
thanks nicole, the male has gained back most of his weight, i'll try that monster diet stuff, that t rex iguana dust doesnt really work that great for me
 
how is not working? just curious.
you can soak the monster diet in a small amount of warm water (like just enough to get it moist) or a small amount of baby food.
