[QUOTE="bayoupig5, post: 2001107, member: 27248"] Seriously increase the greens and veggies. You say he typically eats dubia. Dubia is not necessarily a bad protein source, but gout is usually due to an imbalance of protein to greens. Silkworms are great, really great. Again, too much silkworms will also be too much protein, and you would still have gout issues. If you have trouble feeding greens on the regular I suggest puree veggies. I had to do this for years for a particularly resistant veggie eater (I have plenty of tips if needed). This dragon did no develop gout despite her refusal to eat salad. Bugs or proteins should be fed no more than 3 days per week. Rest of the time the dragon should be eating salad to keep balance in check. Also ensure the dragon is plenty hydrated to move those uric crystals out of the body and decrease the work load on the kidneys. [/QUOTE]
