Well I recommend WWW.iguanaden.com go there and look at not just his diet but he has a very good listing of many veggies and fruit with there ca:p ratio . When you see the lists you can print them out you can feed an ig anything on the list if you maintain a 2:1 Ca:P ratio you will be fine . I do not recommend giving fruit more then 1 time a week I use fruit as a TREAT only . I also agree with Kevin's idea of sick ig's doing better and recovering quicker with a higher Ca:P ratio I use this in the ig's I take in also . Hope this helps .

Ps not casting any aspersions on MK or anybody else's diet you must keep in Mind they are new to the keeping of ig's I belive from what I have read that she only has around 5 years dealing with them . I however have no problem with her diet for a healthy iguana with the exception of alfalfa . I would use a higher Ca:P ratio for a sick ig though . I have seen the higher Ca:P ratio bring back ig's that where Starved on nothing but pellets for months before they where brought to me .
