Fruits Greens
what fruits and veggies do you feed green Iguanas?
i know you feed them fruits and veggies but are there any specific kinds of food?
They need a fresh green salad every day. Here is the basic recipe:
Basic Salad Recipe
1/2 cup shredded raw green beans
1/2 cup shredded raw orange-fleshed squash (such as acorn, banana, kabocha, spaghetti, and pumpkin) – you can occasionally alternate with carrots
1 medium or 2 small raw shredded parsnips (in areas where these are seasonally hard to find, you can substitute with asparagus or cooked or canned lima, navy or kidney beans that have been well rinsed and minced or mashed. If you use beans, add extra calcium to offset their high phosphorus) *
1/4 cup mashed/minced fruit (strawberries, raspberries, mangos, papaya, figs, cantaloupe, cactus pear)
Alfalfa **
Multivitamin and calcium supplements
* If parsnips are a seasonal vegetable where you live, you can use 1/2 cup shredded asparagus, trading off with 1/2 cup drained, rinsed, and chopped canned cooked lima beans, plus additional calcium to make up for the lousy calcium:phosphorus ratio in beans. Cooked beans are acceptable for short term use only due to their phosphorous content and other chemicals that can impede the uptake of minerals and trace elements. Asparagus is comparable in protein to parsnip, but does contain oxalates, so should not be a long-term staple.
** The quantity of alfalfa you use will depend upon the alfalfa product you are using. You want to add about 15 grams of protein. That is about 1/2 cup of alfalfa rabbit pellets, or about 1/4 cup or less of alfalfa leaf tea or a tablespoon or so of alfalfa powder. The older the healthy iguana is, the less protein they need, so you may end up using only a couple of teaspoons for an adult iguana.
Thoroughly mix all the Basic Salad Recipe ingredients together. Makes about 3.5-4 cups.
Add in a multivitamin supplement (any multivitamin supplement for birds or reptiles is fine, but the best, actually, is powder from a crushed Centrum tablet) and a calcium supplement. You do not need to get a calcium supplement that has phosphorous or D3 in it, as the iguana is already getting considerably phosphorous from the plants and multivitamin, and their D3 is best manufactured in their bodies by regular exposure to direct sunlight or special UVB-producing fluorescents.

Has anyone used the green bags for fruits and vegetables?
I need a little more info about how to use them. Do you close and fold the bags? Mine are holding moisture in. It’s the second day I have them, so I can’t tell if I am doing something wrong, or not. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
by makenson a: I don’t need your stupid answer! You haven’t answered my question.
I use them and love them your only suppose to fold over NOT to tight. And when you see the moisture in the bag wipe out with a paper towel and put the veggies or fruit back in . And you can reuse just wash out
Important thing is to keep the inside of the bag dry. So like I said just wipe out with a paper towel when you see the moisture .
The moisture is the gasses that are being release

Promised Land [CD-ROM] Queensryche’s follow-up to the double-platinum Empire is something of an acquired taste, but it’s well worth the effort. There’s considerable variety here; the heavy progressive-rock of “I Am I” and the ballad “Bridge” were hit singles, but there’s also the funk-inflected “Disconnected”, the edgy, spooky “Lady Jane”, and the piano-and-vocals “Someone Else?”. The title track is probably the stronge… |
