anorexic iguana

Posted by Christopher on January 02, 1999 at 14:43:37:

my 6 month old green iguana goes through "eating spurts". just about a week ago, it was eating 3-4 meals a day. now, it's eating one small meal per day. my iguana's fecal test last month tested positive for pin worms, and was treated accordingly (had 2 wormings). with this a meal a day diet, it is so skinny it's got a concave tummy. however, it is still alert and active. it's got a huge tank, and a basking spot of 96 degrees, vitalite, healthy diet with lots of greens. can anyone think of any reason why my iguana appears to "diet" every now and then? any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. thanks!!!
