Possible underweight gargoyle
Need help with my juvie yet again. I posted here before about him not eating. I have since, since he is still alive and pooping well, managed to get him to eat. His diet consists of Pangea mush available pretty much whenever. I refill it when it gets crusty.
But looking at him, I still feel like he just looks underweight. He's around 9 months old. I just weighed him and he's 16 g. I also don't know if he's a he but he's never being bred or anything so I guess it doesn't really matter in the long run.
Please excuse the not great photos. He does not handle well, my phone camera sucks, and it's night time. I do not handle him outside of cage cleaning because it does stress him out.

I have since cleaned the gunk off his toes.If he is underweight, should I think about feeding him some crickets? I've never done so. My adult garg is overweight and I've only ever fed Repashy/Pangea to both of them.Or....I'm just being paranoid and he's fine.Thank you!
Re: Possible underweight gargoyle
I dont think he is under weight. But my experience is w cresteds mostly. You could try crickets if you think he needs a little more weight. But if he stresses from handling, crix may stress him out.
Are these species typically easy to stress? I had been considering one but I dont kno that I want one if they stress easy.
