[QUOTE="xp29, post: 2021379, member: 114539"] Ok so I've been researching into the uric acid levels. It was quite enlightening. The short answer is the banded crickets will have less uric acid- as long as they are not given a very high protein diet. Turns out roaches (in general) store uric acid so it can converted back into energy(in the form of protein) during lean times. They store more uric acid at lower levels of protein than other insects. I am linking an article by Allen Repashy it's kindda long but a good read. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.store.repashy.com/can-feeder-insect-diets-contribute-to-gout-in-reptiles.html[/URL] [/QUOTE]
