Re: Baby Green Ig - Again!
Guys I cannot tell you how much your input is helping me with Sweetie. Thank you for all the great suggestions & advise re diet!
I have kept iguanas for about six years and learnt quite a bit about them in that time. I have two adults, and am very careful with their diet too. I never give them any of the "restricted" foods that were mentioned in your posts, as I know of their dangers, as well as the correct proportion of fruit to dark leafy greens/squash/alfalfa.
As far as i can see, Sweetie is saving his poo to make a pile big enough to hide in. He just has not done anything in the almost three weeks since I have had him that looks like a normal iguana poop.
And now it seems to me that his hindquarters/legs may be paralysed, and there is a little hump in his spine near to the beginning of his tail, which has always been there from I got him, and the vet saw that too and commented on it. His belly is not as tight as it was.
This iguana is so small. He should never have been in the pet shop in the first place. I am waiting for them to call me again....I guess they are now thinking that he is dead. They have only called me one time since I took him.
I long to send some pictures for you all to see him.
