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.

I don't know if they stress easy as a species on the whole. My adult is dead calm when handled and crawls all over me. She really doesn't care. But the little guy always seems stressed out when handled, so I leave him be. He doesn't need to be a hands on pet if it's not his thing.
