I don't know personally, but from what I've heard from people I consider to be experts and I fully trust as far as Uro care, insects can lead to things like kidney problems and exposure to parasites. From what I understand, Uro's kidneys do not handle animal protein well. Also, any time you feed insects, you risk exposing your Uros to parasites and other nasty creatures that might be carried in/on the insects. I've never given my Uros a single insect of any kind, and they are perfectly healthy and happy.
