Bloated or fat?

[aegillesp]

I've noticed Marven is looking a little bloated over the weeks. When I Hold her she "leaks" water, not a little but enough to have runs everywhere she walks. She has been with Lucifer for a few months now, they sleep against each other, they don't fight at all and they get fed everyday sometimes every other. Should I take her to the vet? When Laputa, who passed, was bloated she was see through and her arms and legs were bloated as well. I don't see this with Marven and when she lets out water she seems a but thinner. If she gets xrayed will it show if she has eggs? She sometimes looks bumpy on the sides but I'm at a loss with this one...

This is her in October



and this is her last week.

Hold back on food to see if she slims out a little. Otherwise she looks good, my female is fatter than that.

The one thing that worries me though is the amount of water she expels when I hold her. It's a lot and its what Laputa did before she gave out except her arms and legs aren't swollen. Lucifer isn't fat though... If I was over feeding wouldn't they both be fat?

[kueluck]

Not necessarily, it depends on who eat how much. My female is way fatter than my male is. And when they expel their water it's a defend mechanism they use to hopefully stop the “attach” on them.
Here's a picture of Vera (left) & Vern (right), and Vern is on the fatter side in this pic. He's usually much thinner.


When was the last time Marven ate & pooped?

[aegillesp]

I believe she ate the night before and maybe last night. I put fewer crickets in this time. They refuse wax worms so they don't really get treats. She does poop a lot though. Holy cow she poops!
