Potty Training Problem.

My iguana used to just neatly poo on the bottom of his cage. Now he is going in his waterdish, on his shelves, and now in his hammock

AHHH why? He was really good for like 10-12 months with it.

Re: Potty Training Problem.

'Tis the season...

Iguanas in season don't give a care where they do their business as long as it maximizes the mess they make. Going in Water is natural for them though, ty letting him go in the tub, or get him a big cat litter pan, hopefully he'd like that.

I just take Diz out every day before he gets the chance to make a mess.

Re: Potty Training Problem.

I think he is mocking me!! I saw him look at me at the bottom of the cage, climb up to his hammock then poo, then come over to the shelf and head bob at me.

LOOK MOMMY A PRESENT

Ahh yeah, that sounds like what Diz does when it's mating season.

Re: Potty Training Problem.

what's funny is I was sitting with him and he came up for snuggles and was being very nice and interested in me more than the window or exploring the wonders of places he can get into and I was telling him what a nice sweet little guy he's being and then he bombed me
