<< Tracie: What kind of squash are you giving to your iguana that he's not into?>>

Hi! He gets acorn, butternut, and spaghetti squash.

This is what I used to do, but he has decided he won't eat the tiny pieces. So, now I use the shredder on the food processor and he will eat it that way, but only if it's not given at the same time as the greens. It's not that he won't eat the squash at all, but if he has a choice between the squash and the greens, he will only eat the greens.

Yes, he does. :) Today I am gonna try putting both greens and squash in there, but on seperate plates and see if that works. If not, I will continue to give him the squash mixture first, and when he's eaten most of that, give him the greens. I will also try what you suggested about moving things around. There is already fruit in the squash mixture (papaya, this time). I'll keep you guys posted!

Thanks!
Tracie
