You clearly do...liveorange":230k88zl said:I don't care what you feed or don't feed
I see no supporting evidence for this assumption. Ok Mr. Source and Cite happy. Cite me where the article I posted makes any mention as the basis for the article being written on an assumption of pinkies as a staple.liveorange":230k88zl said:The article appears to assume the diet is mice as a staple. In my post I recommend a balanced diet and specifically say they should not be a staple. I can't say I've ever seen anyone recommending pinkies as a staple in this decade.
You are not even trying to discuss pinkies in the diet, at this point you are basically just trying to find things said in the article to argue with, whether they pertain to the matter at hand or not.liveorange":230k88zl said:However, in the wild dragons eat a wealth of plant matter, so that it makes up 60-90% of their overall diet." Which source did they get this from? I couldn't find it, please enlighten me if you could
You are right, they won't. Either will my kid pass up a bucket of hersheys bars sitting in front of him. I fail to see your point on this one.liveorange":230k88zl said:I doubt dragons would deliberately pass up any protein source based on any perceived restrictions.

Yes this was mentioned, but I still don't believe the article is written on the basis of them as a staple. In fact, near the closing of the article the author even suggests that they be fed as more of a sparing treat. Which you agree with correct?liveorange":343xw3k2 said:"If dragons are fed just on high-fat foods like pinkies the damage has been done. It doesn't matter if it takes months to years for the symptoms to become evident as they are still caused by too much fat due to the nature of the disease."
I never compared insects to meat and mammalian protein to milk. I wasn't comparing, I was simply using an example to explain how protein types can be completely different, and have different effects on the body.liveorange":343xw3k2 said:I'm sorry, you compared bds eating mammalian protein to humans with lactose intolerance drinking milk. You agree nobody is clear on it, so why make that comparison?
So, a random person saying it is fine to add to a discussion when its for your own good, but when someone else wishes to do the same, you demand them to add sources and backing up information...liveorange":343xw3k2 said:I saw someone on your forum claim roaches 1/4" too large caused impaction
Trust me, people haven't stopped questioning this forums general recommendations, and you are definitely not the first, just the newest.liveorange":343xw3k2 said:We should be looking for ways to improve beardie diets, and if we never question what "everyone" is saying that will never happen
