If you are concerned about a gecko’s weight increase, you can monitor its weight regularly. But even without a weighing scale, you can use the following signs to confirm your suspicions:
- The appearance of armpit bubbles in the leg area. pet owners who are not familiar with armpit bubbles may be alarmed but this is not harmful to a gecko.
- Wider tail. Since geckos store their fats in the tail, it should not come as a surprise when an overweight gecko starts to get a wider tail.
- Rounded legs and belly. The gecko’s other body parts will also get wider and bigger when it has gained weight.
The most accurate way to find out the animal’s weight is through a weighing scale. When you do notice that your pet has indeed gained weight, you can start modifying its diet.
Specifically, you should concentrate on giving insects to the gecko until its weight normalizes. Hold the mealworms and small rodents in the meantime.
Your pet’s diet is one of the important concerns that you should discuss with your vet clinic Dallas, GA during your pet’s wellness checks.
