Lizard wasn't at all interested in most fruits either, at first. He didn't seem to recognize that strawberries were food, for example. I thought that maybe it was because they were red, unlike any of his other foods. But it seemed that he would probably like them, because he likes the sweeter veggies, like snow peas. So after he'd ignored a slice of strawberry and closed his eyes, I rubbed the cut side of the strawberry on his lips. Pretty soon he licked his lips, and then looked around for more of the taste. Now he loves strawberries. :-)

Of course, different igs have different tastes - Lizard doesn't like mustard greens at all. So maybe Iguannut just doesn't like the fruits. But if she was like Lizard and just didn't seem to realize it was food, you could try this method of introducing nice, juicy fruits.

: Iguannut is just not interested in fruit, she leaves it all unless I cut it up and mix it in the food. I've tried strawberries, cantalope, honey dew (which she did eat), black berries, grapes, and apples and she just doesn't get excited about them. Mustard greens, she goes nuts over, but I feed her this all the time.

: How can I *treat* her?
