Well, it sounds very much like the MK diet to me, which is good. Altho it depends on what kind of squash (butternut and spaghetti are the best, summer squashes are worthless) and what kind of fruit. I recommend this: Lose the fruit except for once or twice a week, or just for treats. IMO, that's enough. Also: MORE GREENS, MORE GREENS! Greens are some of the best foods you can give your iguana. I also recommend mixing everything including the greens together....then it's assured that all the nutrition is gotten. I hope that helps!
Best,
Jamie/JBug

: 1/2 cup shredded green beans
: 1/2 cup shredder squash
: 1/2 cup alfalfa pellets
: 1 medium parsnip, shredded
: 1/4 cup minced fruit

: All of that should be mixed and served to your iggie. (not all at once) Oh and this is for my wee little baby.

: And Collard or Mustard Greens on the side.

: Thanks just wanted to know if my ig was getting the proper stuff.
