I have a Junior blue hybrid. About 15 inch doing great.
So good this was a great surprise, love you ❤️, simple and good.
one thing I dont really understand is that iguanas will eat my tomato plants new leaves aren't nightshades toxic to them? Also they don't seem to eat old leaves of any plant like any trees typically they also will only eat mangos that have dropped from trees never physically still on the tree
What kind of green beans
How can I get my green iguana to eat more for variety since all he wants to eat is cucumbers peppers and spinach and a tiny bit of kale If he so hungry he’ll eat grapes
In the wild iguanas also eat bugs
I’m getting an iguana now
Can I feed my blue iguana green bell pepper?
I have a iguana and I did my research before I got him…but….I wanna make sure I'm feeding him right
BTW: He is black but has green speckles…he a pretty boi
What do you use to chop up the alpha hey so it can turn into a dust?
Hi, is it okay to add some herbs like basil and rosemary to improve the flavor? Also is it okay to include mango with the skin or should I peel it? Thanks!
And I have been giving her calcium,
My eguana is not eating anything but romaine lettuce and I have tried everything and I mean everything what do I do?? She is so cute I think she is wise to where the hot spot is under my shirt and she just wants to stay there for a few hours.
I wana know common things that are bad for my iguana. I read somewhere broccoli is bad but others say he needs it
Who else got a food commercial just as soon as she walked away from the camera to put him away? lol
Could I put my water on the side of his cage
Love your tips thanks I got a baby this morning I would love to show you the pictures it so cute
You talk to much. Just stick to the subject and keep it simple
is tomatoes good for them or no?
Beta Carotene is converted by healthy cells and tissue into Vit A. You need either Vit A or Beta Carotene. Do not have both in it. They can get Hypervitaminosis A (too much of any vitamin/mineral or nutrient is bad. Overall good advice, but a couple things are not true.
Biggest misconception, lettuces are not beneficial. They absolutely are. There should be no such thing as a "staple food". A well varied diet should be the ultimate goal of an animals diet. As long as you provide that, you do not need any supplements or "extras", along with proper uvb and heat.
Hi Za, your video is a good basic introduction however, I must point out something you listed beneath your video in which you said you now use Beta Carotene supplements. I have researched and studied iguana nutrition specifically for over 13 years now but have kept them for decades.
In 2002, a study titled Selective absorption of carotenoids in the common green iguana (Iguana iguana) by (Railia et al 2002) determined that groups of vitamin A deficient iguanas exposed to different vitamin A forms including B Carotine and Retinyl acetates did not absorb Beta Carotene, Retinol or acetate, the study had determined that they are polar xanthophillis accumulators (a type of carotene but a secondary plant compound unrelated to B Carotene)
Many reptile supplements/pelleted diets do not offer this ingredient due to limitations imposed on what manufacturers can access.
Simply translated, if your relying on some supplementation to forefill the vitamin A requirement you will be hard pressed to obtain this, the good news is they are commonly found and come in greens. My own iguanas are eating approximately 120 food items a year, = about 80 greens, 15 veggies (in winter) 5 (fruits seasonally in spring and summer) and 20 flowers seasonally across the year.
mine loved strawberries ! and yellow squash and cooked sweet potatoes
thank u
THANKS! Your knowledge pertaining to Iguanas has been SUPER helpful. Thank you so much!!!!!
why would you purify the water what do you think they drink in their natural habitate
Never heard so much rubbish? So Iguana's are the only animal on the planet that control their eating even human lol. I hope the other info is not so far of the mark!
I use the sun is that good
the lishpsss
I talked literally just you
Hello … I’m having iguana for the first time and can you tell me when iguana want to poop cuz I just clean the enclosure and shower him just 15 minutes now he is dirty again
Can I have a hug?
Cactus leafs are a vegetable.
Squash is a fruit.
Iguana’s eat bugs as a protein to supplement their diet(very useful if trying to get some weight on your iguana), and are good treat my iguana loves a dubai roach every now and then.
Hey! I’m getting a blue iguana in a couple days, he’s supposedly. 30 inches long from head to tail! What’s a good diet for that age? And what are good staples ?
Upon further investigation – I NO LONGER RECOMMEND HERPTIVITE! They use beta carotine instead of/and not including actual Vitamin A. Your multivitamin can contain beta carotine, but it needs to also have vitamin A. For this reason, I have thrown away my Herptivite and will be using Reptivite from Zoomed.
