Prickly pear is a great staple fruit. Here's a really good chart. Food Information Chart And another good one for feeding info Feeding Iguanas
She needs to give it time to settle in. Iguanas don't usually tolerate change very well. They also need UV light and a vitamin d3 supplement, they are very susceptible to MBD. Specifics on the cage would be good... |
The food she is giving him to eat is right (although there might be unintended food source) I know she has the uvb light but not sure of uva or suplements d3. She has it in a 55 gal tank with a screen with clips on the top. (The iguana can still move around in there pretty easily. She plans on making a new cage for when it is older and bigger) she has a humidifier hooked to the top and it's tented with painters plastic sheet to keep it in. Though I did just remember that it doesn't have any hiding spots... you can see it all the time even if it tried to hide. The heat lamps are on top of the screen but I don't trust what she is using to tell humidity and temp (stick on strips)
that is what I know. I don't think I'm leaving anything out.
