In Reply to: Ziegler Iguana Diet??? posted by Juby on August 04, 1999 at 09:23:52:

: I have a can sitting right next to me, due to the fact that it was given to me by a woman with a TINY 1 yr old rescue (that we've placed, YEAH!!). This ig is very small, her legs are pretty scrawney, and she has a small bump on her jaw, and a lump on the back of her tail. Sounds like MBD to me...she also had no UVB light at all for her whole life, and has lived in a 10 gal tank with nothing to climb on. I was very surprised not to see a hot rock in the tank. But on to my point....

: I have a can of it right next to me, and while reading the Ingredients of it, they are listed as...
: Corn,
: Alfalfa Meal,
: Soybean Meal,
: Wheat Bran,
: Soy Oil,
: Meat and Bone Meal

A lot of these diets are crap!!!!! No substitute for fresh. Are canned fruits and vegetables as nutritious to us as fresh--NO!! Perhaps your vet sells that stuff or isn't informed. As mentioned above, some dry formulas are better than others & in would due in an emergency, but you've been doing the right thing all along!
