In Reply to: Male turning against female =/ posted by butterflyeyes on February 16, 2003 at 21:56:29:
Hi you really have to get that "girl" out of there. She will die if not properly taken care of. Even male/female pairs who have been together for years have turned on each other. Iguanas are a solitary type of animal. Please dont leave them together. If you cannot build another cage, then you will have to find one of them a home. Maybe you should take the bloody one to the vet to make sure the injuries dont abcess. She could die from that also. Please separate them now. Lyn
:My pair of 2 iguanas, a male and a female, who have lived togather since they were small, are now acting strangly. They started to go into breeding season turning bright yellow, stopped eating so much, which is normal and all, but now the male is very aggressive towards the female...they used to always sit togather on the top floor of the cage, now he kicked her off that floor onto the second floor, and when she tries go up there he goes crazy attacking her, bobbing his head and biting and scratching, shes absolutly terrified and so stressed out, she looks awful, I feel really bad for her, why would he act this way all of a sudden? I dont know what to do because the cage they live in is huge, built for 2 full grown iguanas, it takes up half the rec room, I cant build another cage for her, there isnt enough room.. what should I do? just leave them be and hope they get over it? I just feel real bad for her because shes living in fear and has bloody spots all over her body... and shes dark in color all the time, like shes really stressed..
