>>>Is this whole thing true?
Who knows? Ive e-mailed FF several times trying to get info on what they feed their El Salvador imports and have been IGNORED thus far! This kind of failure to respond to simple questions about diet leads me to believe they are in the "there's a sucker born every minute market"...Ive never seen a "Blue Diamond Iguana" not even so much as a picture of one. This is what FF says of the BluD diet....
>>>Fluker's exclusive Blue Diamond color enhancer is the same formula used in their breeding facility in El Salvador. This unique formula helps gain and maintain a healthy blue-green color. <<<<
The thing that really really bugs me is that they claim by giving this food to an iguana they will GAIN blue-green coloration. What a crock!...They more than likely are doing selective breeding with some of their farmed igs that are just green iguanas with a little more turquoise, blue coloration on the head, neck, dewlap & shoulders...sometimes in streaks but nonetheless just regular old green iguanas....and selling them over here at inflated prices calling them "blue El Salvador Igs". A few commercial ig foods do have beta-carotenes, iron oxide, nitrates that claim to be color "enhancers".... but FF's is the only one that Ive heard of that
claims by giving this product your iguana will GAIN blue-green colors. Sadly the pet industry is not regulated against making false claims....but isn't that an awesome iguana on the cover? Doesn't it just make ya wanna run to that checkout counter with bottle after bottle.......Ka-Ching!! Ka-Ching....one year later and $1,000 dollars short.....hey my ig is STILL GREEN ....whaaaaaaa
Hey FF:
Show me da MONEY!! .....then I'll show you mine
