: Hello,

: I have recently been told that the old literature that says "..baby iguanas eat both veggie and insect matter..." is wrong. I learned that baby iguana's menu should be all veggies, fruits and flowers. Is this true?

: Thanks,
: Victor

Baby igs and full grown igs should only eat fruits and veggies.75% dark greens(very little kale and broccali) 20%veggies and 5% fruits. 10 yrs ago a lot of people feed them animal protein and mokey biscutes but they found it made the ig grow faster but also caused fatty live diease and kidney problems.There are some good books on the care of igs and some very good websites here that have good care sheets on them.Finely chop your greens and veggies & fruit too.Hope this helps
