My Odahviing is a fat, fat dragon. There. I said it. She suffers from "you fed me all I wanted but we had a hard time figuring out exactly when to stop because I was a November born baby"itis.
She's 18 inches and, at her fattest, 664 grams. I've gotten her down to 649 grams with a strict almost all greens diet combined with only silk worms and occasional crickets. The crickets are less nutritive and are more "get your booty moving". I want to excite her prey drive to excite her mobility.
Luckily, she's very mobile and LIKES to get going. She's also beardie-lazy when she wants.
My question is related to protein supplementation. Does anybody know of a way to get extra protein into her with less fat? Does anybody have info, for instance, on a supplement in, perhaps, drop form? I believe there was a silkworm related drop, but I don't recall its name to Google it.
Obviously, Carnivore Care etc aren't going to work. The fat content makes them work at cross purposes.
Basically, I'm trying to figure out a good, high protein dietary addition to work alongside her current high veggie, low "meat" diet. Her goal is low fat intake, but the result is also lower protein, so I'm concerned about possible muscle loss. Silkworms are prime feeders, but I want "more".
