:Don´t add any extra protein source to your igs diet. It´s a long living myth that those animals need this. All specimens examined sofar in the wild were feeding almost exclusively on foliage with some occasional fruits here and then. Hence they are adapted to a natural diet which is very poor in ptoteine. Due to this fact, green iguanas are very prone to gout in captivity if they are fed excess protein. You may believe me that the protein contained in a well assorted veggie mix is enough to keep your ig healthy. Don´t add it extra.
