This is what i feed my iguana, and he gobbles it up everyday. I take collarg greens, endive, and escarole, and some green beans (more greens than green beans) and i cut it up and through it into a blender, with a lil water to get it blending, and i blend it up real well and stick it in a spaghettie strainer to get all the extra water out. After ive gotten most of the water out i use a cheese grater on some freshly cut butternut squash and shred it and mix that in with the mooshy greens, then i stick it in a tupperware and it lasts a week. I feed my 33 inch iggy about a cup a day, and he leaves a few bites left over. So i suggest you try that, the butter nut squash will last you many weeks, so when i dont have to get the squash it only costs me about 6 bucks a week, which is really good. Also about aquariums, the 10 gallon is probably a bit small for even a 6 inch iguana, but since its ill and doesnt move much id leave him in there until he gets stronger, a 75 gallon is good for a small iguana, but iguanas get BIG, my iguana shares my bathroom with me, ive places wood posts and stuff all around my bathroom so now its like a man made rain forest. If you cant donate a small room or closet to your iguana, i suggest instead of buying an expensive 75 gallon aquarium, to build your own cage, i dont have much experience with building a cage since mine has a room, so you might want to post about that, and also, they need humidity, and there basking area should be 90-95 and their other parts of the cage should be between about 80-87 or so, and offer water everyday, one more thing, a good light for himw ould be a uvheat bulb, it offers uva, uvb, and heat in one screw in bulb, its a lil expensive at 55 dollars, but they last about a year, i dont have any trouble with mine, and they have a lot of radiation in them. "GOOD LUCK"
