[02SXViper]

ok..he eats about the same amount each day now....and i was wondering if this sound about right

COLLARD GREENS- he eats 13 pieces a day that are about the size my thumbnailabout the size of a nickle

and along with that
fruit- a few little pieces (3 pieces) the size of my pinki nail

OR

a bout 3 or 4 little chunks of a pea shoot pinkie nail size


does this sound like he is eating about the right amount...

You can't over feed an iguana. Feed him as much as he will eat.

Generally speaking, though, ig food is usually measured in tablespoons and cups. You'll be hard pressed to find advice on how many pieces to give, since the amount will vary based on how small it is cut up.

Collard greens are a great staple green, but you really need to add more variety. Throw in at least 2 more greens every day, and add at least one more veggie. Try grated squash Also, don't give fruit every day unless you're just adding a tiny amount of fruit to a huge amount of greens and veggies. The fruit fills them up, but is less nutritious by far. It's like letting a human child fill up on cake and candy and then maybe having a veggie or two for dessert... what is the liklihood of that happening?

yah, i have only give fruit 2x....he ate all the greens and only a portion of the fruit...i think hye likes the greens more, lol...anyways, im looking for more greens but have not been able to find any, there is a farmers market on the 5th, maybe there i can get some, thx...

anyways, i wasnt worried about 'overfeeding' i was just wondering if that seemed like he was eating a lot or not enough
