I agree with Meri about the diet and Spike is a cutie! I got 2 iguanas (Iggy & Spike) in 1991 when it was believed that 5% of their diet should consist of animal protein. The vet, pet store and books told us this. We fed them their veggies and fruit, but we also fed them chicken, turkey, meal worms, dog food, cat food, eggs, cheese, and other animal proteins. They loved their animal protein! They both grew really fast, were fat and healthy - or so they looked. They both died the winter of 1995 after having them for only 4 years. The autopsy showed the reason was kidney & liver failure. We thought we were doing good by feeding them animal proteins, but we were actually sending them to an early grave.

Recently I read up on iguana care online including diet and learned so much I never knew with my other iguanas. September 2003 I got a baby iguana, Gyro and this January I rescued a 5 year old iguana, Bear. I feed them both using Melissa Kaplan's Diet for iguanas consisting of dark leafy greens, veggies, fruit and alfalfa. Neither one has ever had animal protein and never will. Here is what I use for Gyro and Bear's diet:
