This ig may need a couplea weeks to acclimate...they stress so easily and can't handle change...Try and duplicate the set up at the Pet shop including what he was fed ...familiarity breeds iguanas!! oh no wait thats not how it goes.......anyway I'd then gradually get rid of the bad and put in the good.
If your gonna try babyfood...go with something like the prunes, heck steam your own prunes..cheaper yet! Good calcium and will give the other end a boost. Maybe even top his salad with Ensure liquid nutritional drink strawberry flavored! for added calories, vitamins, and protein (soy).

Try HerpVetConnection.com for vet referrals.

Usually just take a fresh poopie sample,the colored green/brn part not the urates (white) is enough...(but eventually the ig MUST be seen by vet so he can be weighed and properly dosed if the poopie comes back ++ for parasites)
Gotta run...hope this helps.
