Answer:

Thank you for your question. Cabbage is one of the greens that should only be fed to Iguanas on occasion. Collard greens, dandelion greens, and things of that nature are the types of greens that should be used as a staple. Here is an article on our PetEducation.com website that might help with choosing what to feed your Iguana: http://www.peteducation.com/article...

Answer:

Thank you for your question. Iguanas are strict herbivores and should not be fed meat. A well-balanced iguana diet will consist of about 40-45% greens, 40-45% other vegetables, 10% or less of fruits, and less than 5% of other grains or commercial diets. They should be provided a multi-vitamin supplement and a calcium supplement based on your iguana's age and health status. One of the most important factors in providing a well balanced diet is maintaining a calcium to phosphorus (Ca:P) ratio of about 2 to 1. This is critical in order for the bones to properly grow and remain strong.
