I would ask the pet store to take that little tidbit out of the caresheet. Most people will think that since they can have a bug here and there, they can use it as a part of their regular diet. In the wild... iguana's accidentally, -sometimes intentionally- injest animal protien. BUT... their bodies cannot process animal protien well. So feeding crix or mealworms or any type of animal protien is not a good idea ...just to be on the safe side.
