In Reply to: My VERY humble opinion. posted by Olbaid on May 26, 1999 at 11:39:57:

Hi !

Yes, isnt this crazy. I just had a laugh at it myself after reading all posts LOL. You are so funny here.

- Olbaid. Now you are also thinking only about Ca:P and at the same time seems to have a goal not to supplement at all.
That is a strategy that can not always be accurate. Like....supplement calcium must be only when using BAD IGUANA FOOD.
I wont do that, thats bad......calcium supplement means I am doing something wrong....I can do better....for my greenies.

You see what I mean ?.

But whatabout all other substances ?. All foods has their advantages & disadvantages. Some are strong in that substance,
some are weak.

Maybe your supermarket like mine has around 35 veggies, 6 greens and 15 fruits ?. (probably not)

Choosing only the postive Ca:P foods would limit me to.....lets see table....2 veggies, 4 greens and 1 papaya.
I cant feed my iguanas only that. They would either kill me or break potty training.

And when I list these Ca rich foods I can see that they are lacking in some other important substances that I can find in
other foods available in the supermarket...

So why skip good food only for being a little low in Calcium ?. I know the problem with these foods ! so whats the problem ?.
Just sprinkle a little Ca that is missing and I may come up with a superdiet !!!.

What I nightmare it should be if I tried to do the opposite. Go only after Ca:P and then try to figure out and correct/adjust
the rest with my multivitaminpowder sorting out everything in my iguana research lab. HELP !. LOL LOL

I admit I am trying to confuse you a little now.
But I am not wrong . Or am I ?.

No problems observed sofar.

Excessive amounts Ca does no harm to the iguana and is just simply flushed out (when not supplementing vitamin D3 dietary)
