[QUOTE="hdochow, post: 1991776, member: 110661"] Interesting! We had Sir Henry at the vet yesterday for a routine annual exam. (100% healthy and doing great. Keep doing what we are doing. YAY!) I brought up dubias and gout with him just to see what his opinion on it was since they are our staple feeder. He hasn't seen many dragons with gout at his practice over the years, only a couple. He said that when it has come up at conferences, the general consensus is that the issue isn't with the dubias themselves, but more what is being fed to the dubias because of how they retain the uric acid. Most of the information that is available on their feeding is from die hard reptile owners, but not much as far as official scientific studies. He mentioned he'd like me to forward him any studies I happen to come across, if I do. The above protein information seems to line up with what he was saying. He suggested we stick with our habit of giving them Henry's leftover salads as their main food, and then supplement with chow as a back up. [/QUOTE]
