This is only one opinion, but I'm not thrilled
with this ingredient list. It has too many
high-phosphorus ingredients: soybean (first
on the list), rice, barley. Carrots? The oxalates
here might negate the calcium. Vitamin D? The
jury's still out on whether igs can even use
dietary D. (Most think not.) Zinc? I've heard
of an ig with Zinc poisoning recently (Napolean).

Sorry to be such a wet blanket, but I'm of the
"fresh is best" school of thought. I also have
a kidney-damaged iguana, so I tend to be hyper-
paranoid about my food choices.

Thanks for bringing this to the Forum,
Iguanamomma. I'm looking forward to seeing
other viewpoints on this.
