Yes. Due to the temperature and humidity of an iguana enclosure the food will quickly start to rot and dry out. It won't take long for you to figure out about how much it will eat at a sitting. With a young ig I would give it a morning feeding as much as it will consume at a sitting, and then again a light feeding a couple of hours before lights out. With an older ig feeding once a day will suffice.
The size of the food will depend on the size of the ig. With a young one I would chop everything up to about the size of a grain of rice. Hard veggies such as squash or parsnips should be finely grated. The smaller size particles prevent the ig from picking out favorite items and leaving the rest. It also allows it to put more food into its stomach so it is getting more nutrition. the finer particles also make it easier to digest than larger chunks.
