Hello from Florida

Hi everyone,
I am the proud owner of 3 adult male green iguanas. My oldest is 16 years, the youngest around 10. They all live in their own habitats in my Florida plant nursery and are a popular attraction for my customers. They all "adopted me" 2 being given to me by owners and 1 that just wandered in one day. I have been feeding them a mixture of fresh veggies and a twice a week supplement of commercial iguana food. They live outside about 48 weeks a year, I bring them inside if temps fall below 50 degrees. They have been very healthy and 2 are quite tame. They all seem very happy in their cages and I don't even lock the lids...they could easily escape if they wanted to. My biggest worry now is that my prefered food spplement, NutriGro is no longer produced and I have had to switch to Zoo Med adult food which is similar to nutrigro but contains fish meal. I worry about the animal protein. I hope to find and give advice on Green Iguanas...they are a wonderful pet.

Neil

Re: Hello from Florida

HI I missed this intro post....welcome to Herp Center....at this time, we only recommend RepCal Iguana food (moistened) to feed to iguanas as a supplement. I would definitely not use the Zoomed product because of the protein....best wishes....and hope you like it here...I too look forward to seeing pics of your green babies...
