Protein is essential to promote good health. Chicken, tuna and canned cat food are just a few sources of protein for the healthy iguana. They love leafy greens, especially kale, carrot tops and bok choy. These greens provide higher nutritional values than lettuce or cabbage. Calcium rich foods such as raspberries, tofu and broccoli should be included in their diet.
Powdered vitamins are available at most pets stores and can be sprinkled on their daily feast.
A fresh supply of drinking water is important to our green friends as well as bathing. Bathing them a few times a week aids in the shedding of their skin. When housing one or two iguanas a large terrarium would be sufficient. Since I housed five iguanas they had their own room. It was setup with large tree branches and thick, heavy rope for climbing.
