I just thought I'd add a little note to all the other good advice you've gotten...I've only had my iguana for about a month, and if I remember right, she did not eat much at first...someone told me you could force feed it by pulling down gently on it's dewlap (the hangy down part of it's neck) then it will open it's mouth and if you put something in there it will eat it...I did that once or twice...but little by little each day she ate more & more on her own. We use the Iguana Den diet that we found on the internet, (Well...all the things one the list that we can find!) and now she wants to eat all the time! It just takes patience & time...but I am really excited about the progress Cleo and I are making. It sounds as if you really care about your pet...that's the most important thing!! And the good thing is that there are alot of really great folks here that know way more than I do that can help you out alot!! keep us posted on your progress!!
Hope we helped!!
