Bug was pretty much a dry food ig when we got him. Almost all he would eat was Kaytee dry iguana food. He would eat a little fruit, and occasionally some other veggies. It took about 2 months to wean him from the dry food, using pretty much what you're proposing. Does this ig ever eat anything else? Bug would at least eat a little of other foods. If he's underweight, I'd be hesitant to try to force the issue too quickly. Once he's settled in, and if you can get some weight on him, cold turkey usually works. Right now, he knows the dry food will be back in a couple of days....
