This happend on a smaller extent with my first two iguanas. It may be that they aren't getting a certian kind of vitamin that come from those certian foods, I don't know. But what you can do is make some strawberry juice and dip the green into it and then offer it to him. If he flicks his tounge at it, stuff the leaf into his open mouth. This is how i fed my iguana for his first few weeks (he was fed "extract of tank gravel" by the pet store). Make sure that you are using mulitvitamin and calcium powders alot. Try to decrease the amount of strawberries and sweet foods every time you feed him. This'll make him unhooked.
