Growth lines - convex, concave?

[n3rdchik]

Rumple, our 7 yr old leopard, has been home with us for just over a month now. He's put on ~80g. We can see new growth lines. Are they supposed to be slightly raised? Or is it pyramiding?

Yes! I took these when I put him in his outdoor pen.

Yes, this leopard is pyramiding. At this age and size there isn't anything you can do about it.

Offer him a great outside home full of sunshine with lots of grass and weeds to eat. Enjoy him

It's easier to prevent it than stop it once it has started.
