Ok...I try to give my iguana as many greens / veggs/fruits as I can get. Usually around 20-35 different kinds of foods, in winter its a little bit of hard. I�m finnish, so I can�t get many of those GREAT greens from shops as you can. We don�t have collard greens or mustard greens ( occasionally you may find some mustard greens, but that�s very seldom ). I have told about my ig pooping to avet, but she said IT`S NORMAL ?!

Different kinds of salads ( SELDOM, definitely NOT iceberg )
Kales like; broccoli, kale, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, chinese....( OCCASIONALLY as a treat, about 1-2 a month )

Dandelion greens ( he don�t like flowers )
Alfalfa
some grass ( summertime and not very often )
clover leaves + flowers
Some other flowers like; hibiscus, rose ( when I get some )
" wheat greens"

Sprouts: Alfalfa, mung, "clover"( I don�t know exatcly what�s in english sorry : )...these in winter with other foods, not often anyway

parsley, parsnip, asparagus, green beans + other beans, carrot + tops ( not often ), squashes, radish greens ( seldom ), corn ( seldom too ), pea pods, cucumber, sweet potatoes, rice, potato( these very seldom), celery, beet greens + some others don�t know their name in english :(...
watercress,"peppergrass" ( these seldom )
dill greens + other which names I don�t know in english

fruits for example :
cantaloupe, honeymelon, water melon, papaya, mango, figs, apples, banana( once a month/ two months ), karambola,pineapple,grapes, strawberry,raspberry, kiwi+ others when I found some..
And occasionally I try to give my iguana T- rex�s dryfood, Zoo Med�s dryfood, but he won�t even taste them, because greens are better : )
And
of course I put vitamin+ calcium supplement over his food..

I tried to put as many foods as I could here( hope I remembered to put many of which I feed to him : ), but ask more ! It�s hard to name everyone of them in english, sorry about that : (, I know you " go nuts " when I say I feed some salads to my ig , but �we really don�t have many greens here and I feed them seldom. I dont�have any regular basis, I give different mixs every week / or day.
Today my ig has sat at the same place all day! Don�t know why : (
He didn�t eat anything today..

Hope this helps,
Iggygirl
