Quail egg eater

[FaunaBgirl]

While my 2+ year old veiled will eat the odd worm, he's gone off crickets but a few a year. Silkworms are his favorite. He loves his quail egg and will part just the front tip of his lips to show he's hungry for it. I squirt it in his mouth via syringe. He's never been better on this "soft" diet. His sheds are quicker and most complete. He's extremely active and his interactions with me are more than anyone could or will believe. I hope to film this stuff in the future.
My concern is, that his primary diet is the quail egg, long term.

Doesn't that have a lot of protein? I know feeding boiled eggs to dubia will give them enough protein to breed more.. and if quail eggs are the same, wouldn't this cause gout?

Agreed, too much protein in any egg for long term use.

This sort of food should be given as a treat maybe 2-3 times a year from my understanding.
