I feel I must once again say that I do not recomend feeding animal protien to green iguanas . However if you are going to use studies and papers to try and back up your point I can mach you 20 to 1 . On that note why not just agree that neither of us think that animal protien is good for green iguanas . If you decide you wish to continue to debate this then I would say you need to read more then one or two studies . you can always read the books on iguana care at you local book store The Green Iguana Manual by Philippe Vosjoli ( just to pick one ) recomends crickets and meal worms as a regular part of the diet ( WE both know this is wrong )( Don't we ? ) .. However the vet might have had a valid reason and until I spoke to him I would not dissagree . 20TH century doctors said that leaches where stupid and pegan but guess what they use in hospitals now ? While I may not agree with with all vets all the time they are the ones trained and educated for this job and unless I can prove them wrong in something I will respect there opinion until that time comes . ok ?
Well I had a great week but it is good to be back ..
