In Reply to: rescued ig - he's moving, but still very stressed posted by bexley on October 16, 2002 at 18:03:58:
I'm glad to know that he'll have a good home. :-) Sounds like he really deserves one after what he's been through. Anyway, iguanas seem to like brightly colored foods, and that always works when I'm trying to tempt Lizard into eating. So maybe you should try grating some carrot or cutting up some squash and mixing that in with his food or putting it on top.
Good luck. :-)

:Well, at least he's warmed up, moving around a bit, but he still looks very, very unhappy. Which I suppose is better than looking like he's going to die. No interest in food yet, but I'm sure he'll get there. I'm putting an extention on the top of the tank tonight, which will more than double the size, that will probably help him out as well. Covering the end of the tank with a towel seems to keep him a bit happier too. Poor guy :( Any advice on how to put some weight on him would be appreciated.
:And yes, this weekend I will be building him a much bigger enclosure. The tank extension was in the plans for Spike the beardie already, he will be thrilled when he gets his cage back! I have already decided to keep this iguana, he is in such bad shape with scratches, an almost completely regrown tail, and very long nails and so thin! He deserves better than that, and certainly far better than a parking lot in almost freezing temperatures!
