I've had my iguana for a year and a half. I just always keep fresh food in his cage.
His steady diet is made up of colard greens, yellow squash, green beans,
cucumber, and fresh fruit. My iguana doesn't eat 'iguana food' from a pet store,
though some do, he won't touch it. I think these foods help with a lot of calcium and vitamins,
but calcium powder and lots UV rays will seriously help, plus a UV bulb in the enclosure.
The fresh food is always around for him, he will eat 2-3 times a day, usually once in the morning/early afternoon
a big meal, then a snack or two during and evening. Stay away from iceberg lettuce (salad lettuce)
and any type of protein. Crickets are not good for iguanas, some books say monkey chow is a good treat,
but I've never tried to feed any to my iguana Chino. The protein reallys screws up their diet and
they cannon process protein while digesting. Mine eats a good selection of foods, I've found
when he eats more darker foods, his color is a little darker and lighter when more colorful food are fed. Good
luck with him.
