Have you taken a fresh fecal sample into the vet to check for worms? This can decrease their appetite. Iguanas hate change...even if it is for the best they get frightened so it takes awhile for some of them to eat. Do you know what the diet used to be? If you do, you can mix in some of his old diet in with the more nutritious one if he is losing too much weight. Also try adding a little fruit in case he has a sweet tooth like my iguana (mango, berries, papaya, melon). This may tempt him. You can try shredding the veggies, using a food processor, or leaving bigger torn pieces (he may have a preference).

Try various greens like collard, mustard, turnip, watercress, escarole, endive, dandelion. Mix in snow peas, green beans, squashes.
