Hi just some thoughts. When we got ours he had been on canned fruit cocktail, Yhk.. After days and a trip to the vets, and many trips to the store, I found it was like a power stuggel, I boosted the temps, which ment covering his cage, and then I found he would eat the seclusion of being out of sight started him eating. It took a while before he would let me watch him eat. So try that just a little privacey.Cathy PS spray everything with fresh water including the Igg.
: Ok, so I took this iguana home that my vet was asked to put down, but I can't get her to eat anything. I'm really starting to get nervous, since I don't think she's eaten anything since I took her home on Saturday. The vet techs said she didn't seem to eat anything while she was there for a few days before I picked her up, either. You can tell she's losing weight, because she's starting to get that flap of skin running down her sides. I'm really nervous for her.
: Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can get her eating? Just to give you some background, the previous owners gave the vet her pelleted "food" so I have left a bowl of that in there and she's also getting a fresh bowl of "salad" each day. I've actually gome so far as to count the number of leaves and peices of vegetables in the bowl so that I can tell if she's eaten any. I don't know what to do now.
: Any help is appreciated.
