In Reply to: answer and a different question posted by iZ's mom (who wishes *she* liked salad as much as the dragon!) on April 07, 1999 at 18:15:03:

: i feed iZ as much as he wants to eat twice a day
... just like the other igs, he also has days
where he just doesn't want to eat at all and then
he'll have days where he wants 2nds + 3rds and i'm
afraid i'll run out of food before he gets full!
so i think they know when to stop and won't over
stuff themselves .... and since most of iZ's diet
is basicly 'salad', i have a hard time imagine him
getting too fat! maybe some day when he's full
grown that'll be an issue ... but while they're
still growing, i'd let him eat as much as his
tummy wants! *grin*

: which brings us to a question ... is there such
a thing as an ig that is too fat?!?!?!?

: purple hibiscus + dandelion greenz (fresh from
the yard!)
: iZ's mom

Yes igs can get fat and I've seen several.While they are still beautiful it's not good for them(like I can talk)It's funny how I watch closely the kids diet and just watch my food jump up on my fork.
