Buy Reptile Food

Iguanas are herbivores, so they normally eat plants in there natural environment. Don’t try to feed them human things, they maybe like it, but it is not good for them. Most of their food should be greens. Most vegetables should only be feed in small amounts.

Most iguanas bought  in pet shops are juveniles. They grow very fast and need good food for the growth of bone and tissue. Quality iguana food for juveniles should contain high quality proteins as well as calcium and other nutrients. Adult iguanas require other types of food.  Their food should contain more fiber and less proteines, as they have stopped growing.

Sometimes it is not so easy to distinguish an juvenile iguana from an adult one. In such circumstances try to measure the length from snout to vent to get the approximate age of the iguana.  Try to balance the iguana food based on their age.

If the iguana is feed correctly, it shouldn’t need any additional vitamins, but if you like you can add some vitamines for reptiles from time to time to make sure they get all the nutrients they need.
