I recently have had concerns of gout in my bearded dragon. I haven't narrowed it down to dubia roaches yet but I did a lot of research on the roaches diet and how it impacts my dragon. I'll be able to go to the vet earliest on Friday. In the meantime I would like to try anything to help her. I think your acid levels in my roaches are higher than normal because I feed them a mixture of oatmeal, Cheerios and dog food. I've recently learned that the dog food has too much protein and they convert excess protein into uric acid. If I remove the dog food from their diet, will uric acid levels drop? Or am I stuck with roaches that have high uric levels for life? In other words will they remove the uric acid overtime or does it just build up inside them? Thanks for all the help
