: Both are fine to add for variety but don't feed as a lone staple.

: As for greens -I haven't heard anyone talking about feeding cooked greens to their iguana. Greens are usually served raw, shredded or torn into managable pieces.

: I suppose if you wanted to cook something just to add variety, steaming would be the way to go since that is the cooking method that depletes the least nutrients in the food.

I don't give much of this, but when I do -- broccoli and brussels sprouts -- I cook them.
She will NOT eat them raw. I also cook butternut squash for my iguana. That's good for her and she wouldn't eat that raw either, but if I nuke it and mash it with her alfalfa tea and calcium, she will eat it. I also give slivers of yellow zucchini and cucumber on occasion. You are right -- not as a staple, but as an added extra.
