i put porky in the tub a couple times and she pooped. and pooped. thanks everyone. now do you guys think i should set up another zoo med bulb? i live in north dakota and i don't know if one light is enough for her.

: i was recently asked to take care of a friends iguana when they moved. i love lizards so i agreed. she is 6 years old and about 3 1/2 feet long. her name is Porky. she is gentle and wonderful. here's the prob... she wouldn't eat her first week. i figured it was because of new environment. after about 9 days she started to eat. she does not have a cage but lives on a tall perch instead like she has her whole life. she is litter trained, but has only gone to the bathroom once. her little legs are skinny and the pet store said she has a calcium deficiency so i bought her a supplement. she has a heat light on for about 10 hours a day. i am very worried because even though she is eating she doesn't go to the bathroom and will not come down from her perch. she seems to be getting thinner and has lost her color. i took her to the vet but he hadn't dealt with one of her size before. what could be the problem, and how do i fix it? i feed her collard greens, zuchini, squash, carrots, and broccoli. could she be depressed about losing her last owner? what should i do???? feel free to e-mail me at acrstnsn@ndak.net or post a reply. please help. thanks.
