As well as species-specific diet and husbandry, it is recommended to limit uric acid precursors. As uric acid is produced from all proteins (and not just the nuclear proteins as in mammals) it has been advised not to feed diets that are high in protein. It has also been advised to especially limit foods that are high in purines such as asparagus, mushrooms, offal, anchovies and sardines.
