Jason was diagnosed with gout at one years old, he is now 3 and with a modified diet he lives a rather normal life. He doesn’t need medication, per 2 vets, but he enjoys a low protein diet with lots of water and black cherry juice to supplement :) beardies under 1 years old diagnosed with gout usually cannot make it as protein is so necessary, however older beardies can be ok with love and care! When diagnosed the vet said that his kidneys aren’t ideal, most likely due to genetics, and a diet high in dubia roaches (they are high in uric acid) led to this! Luckily things where caught very early and another reason you should visit a vet annually. Also no crickets ever again 🫠
