I never used any of the other diets,just mazuri and greens and both my rhino and cuban really like Baby Arugula,watercress,and there both staple greens,i also give them collards mixed in,plus mazuri every day.But i give them greens first and mazuri after,and sometimes green bell peppers,grapes as a treat.But awsome information thx.

mine is very spoiled and would not eat his greens today . eveytime i came in his room he jumped down off his rock and ran past his greens and to the screen begging/waiting for Mazuri . he's not getting any for a few days as that all he wants now . And if i come in his rom with lunch or dinner he also jumps down and begs for my food .

I have never seen any in the stores around here , that i know of . BUT i will keep a closer eye out for them i amy have missed them . Mine hates mustard greens and took one bite and that was it . He normaly pigs out on Collard greens but the last few days has not . He also use to LOVE watercress too , but will not eat it for the last month . Can't buy/find dandelion leaves , the wild ones are all gone for the winter, or covered in snow . Mine will love something for a while them stop . Not a lot of choices of green's around here in N.Utah and especially in the winter and he's making it harder .

Is it seasonal? I have a green ig, not a rhino, but he goes off feed during the winter.

 

[teguboy77]

I think ur right laurarfl,almost all the iguanas i've owned slow down to some point,my rhino still eating good lol,but summer he eats like a horse,my cuban hatchling eats less than my rhino.

Mine green ig is currently holding out for hibiscus flowers only. He's such a bright orange little crab.

I have two that are planted outside , but dormant for the winter . next spring and summer i will have leaves and flower . it was 6 deg this morning here . BRRRRRRRRRR But it usually drops below zero sometime in January , for a week or so but not yet . last year - 14 .

I have 5, but they are big and frost keeps nipping them. We had a big freeze a year or two ago that really did them in. Last year was the first year they flowered for me. I need to find a way to feed them this year w/o using chemical fertilizer. Maybe cow manure will work.
