...or so it says in the "Iguana Care" pamphlet I picked up at Petco this afternoon!

I couldn't believe they had that bad information printed! But here it is; I'm looking at it right now. It says to feed them pellets (prepared diets from the store) three times a week, and that "fresh fruit can be offered in small amounts once a week".
If I only fed Habib three times a week (instead of the three times a day she likes to eat now) she'd pitch a fit!

Also, on the fish tank where they were keeping three baby iglets there was a sticker stuck on the glass which said to feed baby iguanas crickets until they reach 18" long. Then feed them canned pellet food three times a week after that. Gulp!

I'm so frustrated with Petco right now. I better just shut up and go to bed.

Night night all,
Diana
