glad you found us!!!! but better warn you right up front ..... the one thing we DO NOT agree on here is DIET!!!!! *grin*
i also feed only fresh vegs and fruits .... (i tried the juveniule food when iZ first moved in with me and he would have NO part of it ... )
if he's fat and happy, it doesn't sound like you have too much of a problem .... how 'bout a trip to the ig-vet for a check-up??? just to kinda measure how well he's doing ......
IF you do decide to switch over to some (or all) fresh food, do it slowly over a period of time .... besides the fact that i've yet to meet an ig that LIKES change .... a whole lot of fresh food when he's not used to it will probably give him "the runs" and possibly dehydrate him ..... (i'm a stereotypical "mom" .... i worry .... ALOT ....*grin*)

i believe adults also require less food .... simply because for the most part they are done with the massive growth spurts they've gone thru all of their lives .....

iZ wants me to stick my tongue out at Bouana and say "nah nah i'm bigger than you and i'm only 3 1/2 !!!!!" but i told him that would be very rude .... now he's pouting ..... sigh ...... *grin*

Welcome to the ig forum!!!!!!
