Hi, again
The collards, turnips and mustard greens sounds wonderful! The romaine is worthless and igs can become "addicted" to it. You can use dandelion greens (if you're yard has never been sprayed with pesticides or weed killers, you can pick them there, the flowers are good, too!), endive, escarole and smaller amounts of things like rapini, kale, bok choy. The last should be used in moderation, because they are high in goitrogens, which aren't a real good thing in excess. Avoid spinach and chard; they are full of calcium binding properties and your iguana needs calcium. The butternut squash is very good, but for variety I'dd add some other winter squashes like spaghetti and kaboucha. Maybe some grren string beans now and then. Grapes are a pretty poor choice for fruits. Stick to the nutritious fruits like mango, papaya, raspberries and blackberries. A sprinkle of crushed TUMS will be beneficial to a young, ig, but don't over do it. Maybe every other salad? And a little sprinkle of a crushed centrum vit once a week. (*LIGHT* sprinkle!). Good luck; HTH!
Best,
Jamie/JBug
