Is Guru looking a little thin?

[Rhetoric]

He's been going back and forth with sleeping and coming out. Sometimes he's down for 3-4 days, sometimes hes up every day. Sometimes hes up for an hour or two, sometimes hes up longer than the lights are on.
He's eating 2-3 times a week. He's been eating a chicken/beef liver mix with multi vitamin and calcium, a couple chicks and some mice. Not too much ground turkey lately.

When hes up, his behavior is fine. He looks healthy, clear eyes, normal nose/mouth/vent. I just feel like he's getting a little thin. Maybe I'm seeing things? His hips seem a little more boney to me and his tail seems a bit thinner at the base but then plumps back up. He is still popping the day after he eats. I'm almost positive hes peeing everyday, I can see urates in his water. I'm probably being paranoid but hes my baby!! :blush:


Here are a few pics of his body, I'll get better ones tomorrow if hes out. He was a little wiggle worm today lol.

Here are a couple pics from a couple months ago. I'll try and get him in the tub tomorrow for a better comparison.

He kinda looks a bit thinner, it could be the pics though

 

[Rhetoric]

Yea I'll try to get better pictures later. I don't want him to get too thin before he goes down, if he goes down. :/ When he does eat its a less than usual portion wise. Why must he worry me?!

If you want to fatten him up, why not give him some f/t rats? Those fatten Link up pretty quick.

We still haven't gotten our red to eat much since we've had him. He looks a slight bit thinner than guru, but he's still healthy, believe it or not.

He looks about the same to me, if smaller not by much. But then again water magnifies things so it's kind of hard to tell.

He didn't eat much today, I thawed a few chicks and planned to let him eat until he was full. He only ate one and then lost interest. His upper body looks good, he doesn't look boney anywhere besides his hips. I should probably get a scale or go get him weighed.. It's been a while.
My only concern is if he does get thin before he hibernates, I don't know if it would cause health issues.

Maybe it was my eyes playing tricks after all.. He looked a lot thinner before I put him in the tub/bathroom. The little stinker didn't even touch the liver :dodgy: he was too busy playing in the water.

In the top two pics,.. even though he's all squiggly in the first one. He looks like he's in that awkward stage before he starts to bulk up. Kind of like large breed dogs when they go through growth spurts.

I feel like he's always in a squiggle shape lol. I hope he bulks up!
