Has anyone had any luck in getting your iguanas to eat the Iguana pellets? I try to trick mine by putting in their veggies but they always manage to eat around it. Once I ran out of veggies and pored them a bowl of pellets. Lucy shat in the bowl she was so irate. (-: I don't mind chopping veggies...in fact I love delivering their bowls to them. It cracks me up. But it seems like a pellet or two every now and again would do them good. Any thoughts?

Wed, November 2, 2005 - 6:39 PMI use to crush the pellets and sprinkle like so much Mrs. Dash all over the veggies.
My Iguana liked to spit out peas and would avoid pellets. (oh and he use to actully grab any stray pieces of carrot and lob them at the other Iguana...lol.)
Pellets i thought of as more like a filler but they have some vitimins and minerals in them i think that may not come to them while living in captivity. just a thought.

Fri, April 13, 2007 - 2:38 PMNot with the pellets, I feed a salad....2-3 types of lettuce....don't use broccoli or spinach...leaches out calcium...
good salad add is prickly pear pods...sliced....
add a little varied fruit...
3 parts green lettuce....romaine, butter etc
1 part fruit..
2 parts veggies..can thaw veggie mix.....vary..
can google iguana salad.....
add a little calcium powder 1-2 per week...
Notice the vit. D in calium mix....use less if you let your Iggy sun outdoors...
