[QUOTE="NickAVD, post: 2021425, member: 117461"] Thank you for asking this question. I should have started by describing the reasons. When Foxy was a little dragon he ate crickets and greens every day until he was 6 months old. After that, we gradually began to offer him dubia roaches. He liked them so much that we decided to give up crickets, because they are not ideal food. When he was 9 months old, here on the forum I was advised to diversify his diet and put his roach diet on a schedule 5 days a week and 2 days use for hornworms or superworms. But he liked dubias so much that in 10 minutes he managed to eat a huge amount of them and could make a supply in his beard. This resulted in him not touching greens or eating treats (hornworms or super worms) the next day. I consulted a veterinarian with the question of how I can diversify Foxy's diet in my case. The veterinarian said that I spoiled him badly with roaches and that you need to endure the time and not feed him with them. I tried not to give him dubias for 4 days, when I offered him crickets (on day 5) he turned away and did not eat them. As an experiment, I gave him roaches. He was very happy, ate them and hid a few dubias in his beard. He's turning 12 months old in a few days and now I put him on a 3 day/week roach feeding schedule. He has 2 days between cockroaches in which he began to eat significantly more greens, which makes me very happy. But a 100% diet with cockroaches worries me a lot. I have the opportunity to offer him any live food (except for silkworms, they are not sold here). But he refuses everything. I tried to give superworms, hornworms, all kinds of crickets, shelfordella tartara. Usually he tries unfamiliar food, eats one thing and no longer perceives it as food, even the next day or a week later, in the end I just throw everything away. I really want to diversify his diet, but I can’t do it, on the forum I read a lot of horror stories about gout and saw that some owners in a situation similar to my 100% cockroach diet give cherry juice to prevent gout. I don't want him to starve and I have to give him protein, because. it's still growing, so I don't see a solution yet. And that's why I bought this juice to give it until I solve the nutrition problem. I will be very glad to hear advice on how I can diversify the diet of this spoiled guy. Sorry for such a long text, but I wanted to tell everything, maybe it will help find a solution. [/QUOTE]
