When Zok is gravid she will lap the stream from a mister bottle. Drinks quite a bit that way. And when she is gravid is the only time she will do it.

Dizzy drinks when you pour water over his head when he is in the bathtub. He doesn't really open his mouth, I think a bit goes in through his nose, but he tilts his head back really far and swallows once you stop pouring.

Ok I took the food out and I smeared tofu on the leaves and added more fruit, some bread etc. hoping it will eat and it ate one leaf. PLEASE do not lecture me that tofu and bread are not good foods because I know that it is basic elementary information.
It seems that it will eat a little when I put some junk food on it. So now what? I can't always do that.

I just want to get other's opinions on this, but if he covers the cage up with a cloth or something to make the cage seem secure from the rest of the room can that have an affect on the eating habits? I was just wondering if it's at all possible that she doesn't feel secure and that's why she's not eating.

I know it's a very odd suggestion, but I'm just curious if anyone has ever had that happen.

Sometimes they are hungry, sometimes they are not. Sometimes they'll eat a ton and sometimes they go a few days without. Iguanas are moody. Maybe you unknowingly changed something, or maybe you looked at her wrong, or maybe shes going into shed. There are alot of factors. She is fat and healthy so I wouldn't worry about a couple of days of decreased food intake. As long as she is pooping and being active there isnt much to worry about.
