In Reply to: HELP ! Iguana wont eat. vet apmt in 2 days need help quicker posted by iguanachameleon on January 20, 2003 at 20:40:09:
Without knowing more it's very difficult to give you exact answers. What was the iguana being fed before you took it? Try offering that even if it wasn't great. Often times when you switch food on an ig, especially after moving it to a new envoronment, it will refuse food for a few days. If you are already offering that, try shredding the veggies instead of dicing them. Offer some sweet veggies fruits like chopped strawberries, shredded carrots or maybe even some mixed berries. Sometimes, offering them something sweet will trigger them to eat. Make sure there is fresh food available at all times in the beginning, even at night BUT make suer that night time ambiant temps are kept around 80-85* so impaction doesn't become a problem. Also, make sure you are offering plenty of fresh drinking water in addition to misting. Sometimes an ig who won't drink from still water will drink the mist from a sprayer bottle. Keeping the ig hydrated until the vet appointment is important.
Good luck!
