Dash’s foot

Hello, I noticed Dash’s foot is swollen again. Its the same foot I posted about a while back, it went back to normal for a while then it was swollen again for the last few days. I have him eating mostly greens with some superworms a few times a week, no dubias since someone said they could have caused gout last time and I gave him a break. He is behaving normally other than limping on his foot

They can swell if it's shed- the only way to tell for gout is a blood test to test for uric acid level- if it is gout he can be put on allopurinol

Okay sounds good. Its just strange that its the same foot. Maybe he injured it? He loves to jump off his basking rock even with two different bridges down for him.

That will do it- he could of sprained it or landed wrong
