I put a link to some care info. I am not sure about the toes, but it sounds like something might be wrong. If you are worried, you should probably take the ig to a vet. As for feeding, you have a good start. Just add more variety. Mustard greens, turnip greens, zuchinni, carrots, and a little bit of fruit from time to time. Also, make sure you have a proper light with UVA and UVB. Best of luck.

: I just recently got a baby iguana from a guy who was mistreating it. I have a question about it though. Is it normal for baby igs to have turned toes?? I trimmed it's claws thinking that it may be the length of the claws. But something doesn't seem right about the toes turned. Could it be because of a calcium deficency?? Also, I am feeding him(or her) :) collard greens with some acorn squash mixed in with crushed up tums tablets sprinkled on it. Is this a decent diet or should I do more. I need help to help this littl guy get back to his(or her) healthy self. Any help is appreciated :) I need all the info possible on owning a iguana, I've never owned one, and I thought me not knowing and willing to find out was better than this jerk keeping it and eventually killing it. Well thanx in advance for any info. :)
