>>Whatever you say. I trust my vet, you I don't know. Goodbye all.



This is a debated issue - some say bugs yes, some say bugs no. I'm in the bugs no camp, but probably a few bugs here and there will not hurt. However, your vet suggesting to feed MORE bugs than you do is probably not the best of advice. Protein from plant sources are a better choice if you're looking to add more to the diet. But don't take my word for it or Jaffar331's, OR your vet's - do some digging on your own and make up your own mind. Remember that just because he's a vet, he may not know everything - especially about a newer-to-the-hobby species like uros. There's tons of research and info out there on igs, but much, much less on uros. Some of the information that IS out there is outdated and now known to be incorrect.
