"I'm not fat! Now gimme another worm!"

[nwmnnaturalist]

Little Miss Piggy Pants AKA Skadi the Ambystoma tigrinum is starting to get a little plump. This doesn't deter her from begging daily. I've fed her two worms a week (one large nightcrawler and one smaller earthworm, or two little worms), once a month coating a worm in Herptivite. I'm getting a little concerned that she's getting a little porky. Should I cut down to one worm a week?

It's very hard to say no to that face, but the girl loves her chow a little too much!

From the picture you posted she seems to be ready for more fattening

I have seen some pretty plump babies on this site and on others, she is far from needing to be on a weight loss plan in my eyes... I am not professional though

She looks fine to me too. If at any point she can't put all 4 feet on the ground, maybe then you should cut back. lol

Agreed - she's at an appropriate girth size.
