2.

The iguana's diet consists of 1 00% plantbased foods. An adult animal should be fed
once a day, babies are fed several times a
day. The basis of the diet is all kinds of salads
and greens.

Fruits and berries should be offered to iguanas several times a week: apples,
pears, peaches, strawberries, currants, and so on. For young iguanas, try to
choose a high-protein diet, offer: green string beans, pea and bean pods.
Special top dressing for reptiles, vitamins and calcium must be added to the
feed. The diet may include lettuce leaves, dandelions, and clover.

4.

The food is served during the day so that the iguana can warm up and digest it after eating.
The amount of food offered should be such that the iguana will eat within an hour.

5.

The iguana absorbs the main moisture from food and juicy greens.
Don't be alarmed if you rarely see her drink.
Bathe the iguana, this will help it fill the water deficit in the body, there should always
be access to fresh drinking water in the terrarium. Spray the terrarium and the leaves,
the iguanas will lick off the dripping water droplets.

6.

Iguanas should not be given products that contain animal protein.
In addition, any processed "human food" high in fat, sugar, or carbohydrates can
cause serious illnesses in iguanas, even in small amounts.
Iguanas only eat plant foods. All products must be fresh, natural and not treated
with chemicals.
