In Reply to: Re: Juices for a spoiled iguana... posted by IGUANA JOE on February 05, 2003 at 21:37:12:
Dogs and cats are mammals!!Cannot be compared to reptiles, although i heard snakes love milk(by the way is that true??).When i bought my first iguana the owner of the petshop said to me to be extra-careful with 2 things:Milk and height.Both are extremely dangerous for igs!!
About juices, dont they have lots of preservatives, aditives, etc...?

:Orange juice may be too acidic for iguanas. Even some people cannot tollerate the acidity of orange juice.
:I suggest you try in small amounts. If he does not vomit, it's a good sign. However, to keep things safe and healthy in his gut, apple juice is a safer alternative. Pineapple is also a bit acidic. But if u find orange/banana/kiwi or other combos, they are safer (and tastier!).
:It is generally thought that reptiles are not lactose tolerant. So giving milk to the tegu may not be a good idea, even though they are omnivorous. However, the same goes for cats and dogs, and many people offer it without any side effects. As long as the animal is healthy and does not vomit, it's ok.
:However, fruits are supposed to be 10% or so of the diet. So make them a treat only!
