Posted: Mon Jul 23, 2007 8:39 am Napoleon's fat
I was looking at Napoleon this morning and I'm noticing that his little armpits don't seem to cave in as much as they used to. They're not pooched out like Hercules was, but he's definitely looking kind of chunky. I know I haven't been overfeeding pellets, he only gets 5 a day. He gets bloodworms or tuna as a rare treat, maybe once a month. All he ever eats otherwise is greens and veggies, is it possible he's getting fat on that? I give him quite a lot of lettuce, usually 2 or 3 good sized leaves a day, and he always eats it all. He's also been pretty lazy lately, just sitting at the bottom a lot. I didn't think you could really overfeed veggies but if that's the case I'll have to cut back.
