I'm not sure what is in the bags of leafy greens you buy but at our store they are not made up of good ig greens. His leafy greens should consist of turnip, collard, mustard and dandelion. These are the 4 major greens suggested to feed to ig's. They are a good source of calcium. Watercress, cilantro (sp?) and parsley are some other greens that are good for ig's. If the bags of leafy greens your feeding do not contain the 4 major greens needed for an ig then I wouldn't continue to feed them.

: My new iguana, Isidor(I think he's about a year old)will only eat leafy greens and the rabbit pellets that line his cage. When I offer him fruit he usually ignores it. I've been feeding him bags of organic leafy baby greens from supermarkets or farmer's markets. Is this OK? I know 10-20% of his diet should be fruit, and as a first-time owner I'm worrying about him.
