: : Hello,
: : This is Tim.I am glad to see your post.Nice to meet you all.
: : to M.Eguro:
: : Your Blue and Green Iggy are very beautiful.I visited your
: : website before.VERY NICE!!!
: : to JoeIII:
: : OH!I like your Cyclura Iggy.PRETTY COOL!!!
: : to Harry's Dad:
: : No matter what kind of Iggy I keep.I like Green Iggy too.
: : Your Iggy is a STRONG GUY!!!
: :
: : My Rhino Iggy is almost seven months old.I got him on 10/08/98
: : from Ron St. Pierre.He is a male,and 12".Maybe our Cyclura are
: : from the same parents.He is a very shy little guy now.He always
: : hide under the heat blanket.When I feed him,he is very scare I
: : think.How can I tame him to like a dog?It is my big problem.
: : I am afraid to catch him,because he might hurt his nose in his
: : tank.When he get bigger,I think everything will be fine.I hope
: : we can grow up together.I have a few questions,Can you answer
: : for me?What kind of food do you feed your Iggy every day?
: : Do you feed the dog can or cereal?Can you tell me how can I post
: : my Rhino Iggy photo on this website?Thanks to all.
: : I am looking forward to your reply.

: : Thanks!

: : Tim

: Hi Tim,
: Thanks, my girls are blushing.... Nope, nope,
: nope on the dog food. Your little guy should
: live to be well over 30 or even 40, take it slow.
: Go to MK's site it lists on the good food items.
: Hey, as from taming him down... try just placing
: your hand in the cage for 15 mins a couple of
: times every day. do not touch him or go near him
: just have your hand in the cage at the opposite
: end from him. when he gets used to this place a
: treat in the cage at the same time that your hand
: is in there... don't hold the treat or have it
: next to your hand. you want him to just eat it
: while your hand is in there. If he does not eat
: the treat with your hand in there take it out
: after 15mins (at the same time that you remove
: your hand). Try this every day. He will start
: eating the treat with your hand in the cage.
: after a few weeks of him eating the treats, place
: the treat on the other side of where your hand is
: so that he has to cross by or over your hand to
: get it. If it does not work after a week go back
: to the treat be closer to him for a week or two
: until you think he is ready to walk by you freely.
: This is a good way to get him use to you.
: He will learn that your hand is not in there to
: grab him up and he should start coming up to you
: to get is treats after a month. This worked
: with my Rhino. She is the biggest Puppydog now,
: but when I brought her home she would open her
: mouth and whip her tail at me if I walked into
: the same room as her. NOw I take naps in the
: park, while she roams around me munching on
: dandelions. THe most important things is for him
: to learn that your not go you hurt him. These are
: really smart fellows, if your hand is not chasing
: him and is just bringing treats, what is there to
: be afraid of?
: Boy, do I ever have a tendency to "babble!"
: Take care,
: Joe III
