I'm doing some research on a pet uromastyx, because I like their cute little faces a lot, and I noticed that while they're mostly herbivorous they do snack on bugs and small mammals in the wild. Would a pet uro benefit from occasional insect treats?

I wouldn't recommend it! Uros in the wild mostly eat insects out of convenience and coincidence, and they can introduce too much fat and protein into their diet even when only fed occasionally. With captive uros who are used to having readily-available food, they may even start to prefer insect treats over healthier foods, which isn't convenient for anyone!

Instead, most uros absolutely love lentils as treats. Bee pollen is also a great treat in moderation!

More reptile studies! They're such different shapes to birds and mammals-the head and scales are the main focus though. Good basis for dragons and other creatures
