Any problems with feeding thin skink daily?

[Katydid11]

My Northern (who I had to wake early from brumation because he was losing weight--mentioned in a past post) is gaining weight and looks good. He has been soliciting food daily, so I have been feeding him just about every day. Obviously, I have to take extra care to mix his veggies in, so he doesn't avoid eating them. As long as everything is well mixed, he has been eating it all, most of the time. He had a clean fecal sample and is still a tiny bit underweight. Is there any harm in letting him eat daily for now? Obviously, I will cut back once he is an ideal weight.

no issues at all if he will eat every day

That's what I plan to do with Ema (one of my Meraukes).. compared to her sibling, she is an ant. Her sibling eats every single meal, everyother day. While she just eats a couple bites.. sometimes not even that.. but I read that a couples of bites can go a long way for BTS, so not to worried about it, but definitly switching her to an everyday schedule.

It helps to add foods that are higher in fat than normal to help rebuild the reserves too. Totally wouldnt suggest doing this normally, but wax worms are great (I hear) for restoring skinny animals to a healthy weight. Mix that in with good food so that you get an over all healthy diet of course, but it might help

We cared for a somewhat emaciated bluey a few years ago and fed her smaller amounts every 2 days until she got to the right body proportion. We used extra meat protein in her diet to help reverse the loss of muscle associated with insufficient food. She was about a year old at the time and fully recovered within 3-4 months.
