[QUOTE="karmakollector, post: 1917357, member: 101399"] Thanks... now that you mention it, I do remember recently reading about the UA buildup in Dubia, which did raise some concerns (though my dubia subsisted almost entirely on carrot, so maybe it wasn't as much of a problem?) Good things to consider. I am going to change my graphic tonight, removing mealworms from "do not feed" an considering the overall value of various buggos. Perhaps dubia should be moved on down the list, because you are right, I distinctly remember that dubia can get high UA concentrations as a way to prolong their life in some way (like a protein storage mechanism?) I have, in fact, seen it take longer to digest the mealworms (just basing on undigested materials, but on length between bowel movements on dubia vs. other feeders), even with great heat and UV, but probably not any worse than how long it took to digest crickets or superworms (it's just going to be a higher ratio of shell-to-meat than for some of those)... I'll check it all out. I lost a beardie at 1 year of age -- despite following all of the advice given on forums like this one (and elsewhere) -- so now I am questioning everything, and really trying to see what the facts say, especially in areas where there seems to be conflicting information, like diet.
