In Reply to: kingworms and waxworms ok to feed? posted by caliguy36 on August 29, 2002 at 20:37:18:
:my iggies just love kingworms and waxworms.
A lot of people--and animals--"love" things that aren't good for them. When it comes to animals, especially exotics such as green igs, it is up to us to make sure they get what they need.
:i give them maybe 15 a day. are there any serious health issues with this?
Yes: kidney failure, usually fatal, at a relatively young age.
There is no known safe level of animal protein for herbivorous lizards, including the green iguana. You will find lots of information on this subject both in my Iguana Care, Feeding & Socialization article as well as in some of the articles in the Diet: Food, Feeding, and Supplementation section at my Green Iguana Collection page.
