[QUOTE="noella5088, post: 2019355, member: 55053"] I'm sorry for all the health questions. But, it seems even someone who's owned bearded dragons for quite some time, needs to relearn some things and correct some husbandry. So, here's what I noticed. Last weekend, I fed Maya 8 dubia roaches on a Sunday. (Not this weekend. I fed no bug protein.) But, shortly after feeding him those roaches, I noticed his activity and his front legs becoming inflamed. I gave him some of Tracie's Silkworm Enzyme and he was ok the next day. Back to his normal routine. The inflammation went away and he was able to use his front legs. A friend of mine told me he could be allergic to dubia roaches. It got me thinking about 'all his swallowing, gulping issue'. Since stopping the roaches, he doesn't do that. He has been eating with help, his vegetables. Dandelion Greens Squash Zucchini, yellow squash. Red bell pepper Spirulina powder Alfalfa Powder Multivitamin 2-3 times a week. (Just last week, I gave him the multivitamin daily.) Calcium without D3 every day and one day of D3 Calcium. Water spritzing Sprinkle of bee pollen. He has beardie buffet available. He is very active now. Running around his tank. Climbing his basking spots, standing up on his hind legs. Head bobbing. Had a normal poo and urate yesterday! So proud he pooped too. He woke up at 8:45 AM and went to bed at 8:45 PM. He had his nightly cuddle, petting, kisses, and put him to bed. I'll be getting him some silkworms. I don't know if Discoid roaches would be an option for him or if I can continue to give him a plant protein supplement. All the powders have protein. Maybe he doesn't really need dubia roaches anymore. Not after the research of them causing 'gout'. Old photo. Not recent. [/QUOTE]
