Skinny Iguana

Posted by Mike Fisher on September 22, 1998 at 22:46:04:

I have a young captive bred iguana that is a very good eater yet is not gaining weight. His belly is always full but he is thin at the base of the tail. I gave him yogurt to try to establish some gut floura but this made no difference. I've heard that in the wild, hatchling iguanas sometimes eat adult iguana's feces therefor establishing gut floura. I'd rather not try this though. Any ideas?? Thanks

Mike
