Uro Diet ™
We started the Uro Diet with two variations. We have fine milled, which is great for hatchling Uromastyx under a year old. Then we have the adult diet, great enrichment for animals who are healthy and love picking at and crunching on whole parts.
I started producing my own mixture in 2013 when I first started working with the species Uromastyx yemenensis. U. yemenensis made me realize the need and necessity for having a dry dietary additive available in their enclosure 24/7. Since then, I have incorporated this dry diet across all species of Uromastyx and Saara.
Uromastyx are grazing animals, so the idea of letting any of these animals have NO food available, even for even an hour, didn’t sit right with me.
Uromastyx should have food available the entirety of their photoperiods, something I have adamantly professed since I started keeping Uromastyx back in 2009. You will never catch my cages without a food source.
Over the years, as we have come to better understand nutrition and ethical sourcing, the mixture has developed into something we are quite proud of. In 2024 we first started to sell the Uro Diet.
Now, seeing how much all of my Uromastyx species adore these mixes, I keep the shelf-stable diet in the enclosures permanently. From Saara loricata, to Uromastyx yemenensis, to philbyi and ornata, to egyptica, the dispar group and even ocellata.
Shelf Stable
Two sizes are available, a 16oz and 8oz.
This mix is a rich source of healthy and natural vegetable protein, dietary fiber, calcium derived from cactus plant and folate.
What is folate?
Folate is a critical B Vitamin which aids the body in making new cells. It is natural and found in many dark leafy greens and legumes. The synthetic form of folate is Folic Acid, but who needs synthetic when folate is so much better.
*The bag or container should be stored in a dry location free from direct sunlight*

BEST PRACTICES
We offer this as a whole food for adults which also provides the added benefit of enrichment.
Our recommended use is offering this whole in a small dry cup or bowl.
We personally have this available 24/7 inside of the cage.
Our animals love fresh greens right when they wake up in the morning, but once it hits the afternoon, we find our Uromastyx will choose these dried toppers over their greens every time.
Seasonally, some of the species will only exclusively eat Uro Diet.
