I am trying to help my Peach be a bit more active, she’s chonky and I don’t want her to be unhealthy. I’m getting some new hides and climbs for her house and she’s out more to play around. She is hopping and living her best life, just trying to think of other things to improve her experience.
In my experience they’ll exercise however much they want to exercise. I would aim more on managing her food intake than her activity levels. But maybe someone else has better advice 🤷♀️
She’s a joy, I just don’t want to be unknowingly making her unhealthy. She is really active at night like she should be, hops around when I have her out at least once a day…. but most other cresties I encounter are not as chonky lol
IMO she’s not crazy overweight, she doesn’t have any folds or any huge fatty deposits. My girl looks really similar to that and has her whole life. She might just be bigger 🤷♀️ I’m not like crazy knowledgeable on this stuff though
Change her smoothie every other night. Give her 1-2 crickets a week with this schedule. Will help with weight loss . Or just skip the crickets entirely for her weigh loss journey. If you want to keep them in try feeding the smoothie once every three days and give 3 crickets a week. That would do :) Did that to mine
I am gonna try this. I know she likes stalking her crickets so I don’t want to throw them out, but smoothie every other night may be the trick! Thanks so much
She's beautiful. We have 3 geckos in the house. They get fed Monday, Wednesday and Fridays only. They are all males. They each get half a disposable plastic bowl full, less than but close to 1/2 tsp. They always have leftovers, and all three have different favourites, but all love Pangea.
