This is a classic case of what happens when you don't do your research BEFORE you get into ANY kind of animal. From what you describe, your best bet is to find a rescue/shelter near you and give ALL of the iguanas to them NOW before their health starts to deteriorate due to improper care, diet, and living conditions and makes them less desirable to even a rescue operation. And be prepared to cough up the tank that they're in. It's the least you can do for someone taking in 5 igs for you. It sounds like you were more interested in trying to make a quick buck as opposed to being interested in iguanas. Please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong but that is my first impression.

Cut your losses now, give them to a shelter and chalk this up to (hopefully) a learning experience. They're going to end up costing you more money than you will ever make in selling them. When was the last time that they all were seen by a qualified herp vet ?

FYI, your diet needs improvement and there is absolutely NO WAY that 5 iguanas should be housed together in ANY size cage unless you happen to own/live in a zoo.
Next time, make sure you do the research first.
Good luck
