What constitutes a healthy diet for an adult Uromastyx lizard?

Answer 1

If you are looking for a healthy diet for your uromastyx.... It should consist mainly of vegetables. A mixture of greens should be available to your uro... Some greens usually used are : Collard Greens, Dandelion Greens, and Turnip Greens... But Kale, lettuce and vegetable from the broccoli family should be avoided, this leads to metabolic problems! Uro's are not meat eaters... but can be fed 2-3 crickets every 2 weeks for an adult. If you over feed with protein it can lead to gout, and kidney failure. Other vegetables and fruits can be added to your greens mixture such as carrots, peas, beans, corn, lentils, cactus, and dandelion flowers. The occasional apple and other fruits can be added as a treat.
