sweet tooth :-/

About 5 days ago my iguana decided he didn't want to eat his greens. I didn't worry too much about it the first day, but he still won't eat them. He only wants to eat sweet things. He'll eat his snow peas and the small amount of strawberry I give him, but refuses anything else. No collards, no endive (those two were his favorite greens), no dandelion greens... You get the idea. He's always liked his sweets, but now that's all he'll eat! He's always liked his greens before (except for escarole and mustard greens)... I'm worried because it's getting close to a week that he's been doing this, and he's obviously not getting a healthy diet this way.

Thanks,
Kate
Has this happened to anyone else? Does anyone know any tricks to get them to eat their greens?

        Then my vote is he's in season. Have you found any plugs lately? np JNelson 05/22/02 (4)
