:Hi Barry,

As long as this unfortunate animal isn't seriously emaciated, I wouldn't worry too much about feeding until there is some considerable improvement with the mouth problem. At that time, he will probably start eating on his own. I would definatly confine him in clean quarters under a UV light, with maybe a little supervised basking each day. I would give him a warm soak each day to keep him hydrated and get him used to handling.

If the mouth mess looks like it won't respond quickly, a trip to the vet is called for.

Welcome to the wonderful world of Iguana Re-hab.

luck,

filthy
