I bought my older brother 2 young iggys, a male and a female, and I looked after them for 1 month before I gave them to him. They have been eating the Iguana Den diet and some ig pellets, and they were housed in a 20 gallon tank. My brother built them a huge cage of wood and plexi-glass and got all the proper UVB lighting that they require. He also put in some fake plants and a shelter for them. We moved them over to his house and into their new cage about a week ago. I just talked to him on the phone and he is worried because they are not eating hardly at all. He is feeding them the same diet as I was, and taking very good care of them, but he doesnt know why they wont eat (and it has been a week). Whats wrong with them? Do you think maybe the cage is TOO big for the little guys and they are too scared to eat? We are getting kind of worried about them, if you have any info it would be greatly appreciated.

Thnx alot-
BT
