Iguana help

Iguana help you, but I don't know anything about reptiles :((

I appreciate the pun at least

What's with this place and asking to diagnose their pets based of vague descriptions? Do you like hope that an Iguana expert will happen to see your thread? Take it to a vet ffs, or at least go somewhere else online where people don't indiscriminately shitpost.

I figured I'd ask an animal related question on an animal board, sue me.

Have you tried switching up the diet? Iguanas will get sick of certain food and refuse to eat it, they can be picky

>He has about one day a week where his really eats.

Okay if he's still eating on a regular schedule, in this case once a week, that is still within the realm of normal. It's probably partly because his growth has slowed a bit and partly due to the season. All reptiles tend to eat less leading in to and during the winter months.

Try decreasing the feeding rate to once every second day instead of daily for a while.

Also this is very important. Look up care sheets and try some of the other recommended vegetables you haven't used before.

I havent been i've been doing a mix of mustard greens, collard, bell peppers, and green beans. What would be a good thing to swap that out with?

>Growth slowed
His growth definitely slowed, those first 6-7 months he was constantly shedding, literally. If his top just finished shedding, then his bottom began and vice versa.

>Winter months
This started in the hottest season here though (july-august is when this started). On those "off" days should i still keep a little food out?

Alright, this seems so be mentioned most. I will have to work on this. I just got used to making him the same thing, would weekly rotations work? I usually prepare a few ziploc bags at the start of the week and freeze them, then microwave for that day a portion. He oddly prefers microwaves vegetables over fresh.

mine loved butternut squash and kale, lettuce every once in a while although it doesn't provide much nutrition

Ill have to check my grocery store again. I think i originally wanted to get him butternut squash but they may not have had it. If not, Ill start looking around.

No. No food on off days. The point is to see if feeding response improves on the less frequent feeding schedule. This will not hurt your iguana.

Understood, thanks for the clarification
