Green iguana (definite introduction)

Many lizards, geckos, and snakes Creeps like these have relatively high requirements for food and environment, so they are difficult to raise. As a stranger, if you want to try raising a lizard, the best lizard to raise is the green iguana. Green iguanas are not complicated to raise, and their food and environmental requirements are not very high. They are reptiles that are more suitable for family raising.

The first thing to do is to choose a strong and healthy green iguana. You may see green iguanas of different sizes in pet stores. Some of them may be caught from the wild, and some may be sold by other breeders. Therefore, they may have been transported from a long distance, or they may have been raised incorrectly for a period of time. These factors greatly reduce the chance of iguanas getting sick and injured, so it is important to choose a healthy green iguana.

Feeding of green iguanas. Green iguanas are herbivores and naturally eat only plant leaves and flowers. Unfortunately, in captivity, green iguanas basically cannot eat the food they eat in nature. So we must provide them with enough and correct food to ensure their healthy growth without getting sick. When providing food, you must pay attention to the variety of food, so that the green iguana can obtain balanced nutrition. If fed simple food for a long time, green iguanas can easily become sick due to nutritional imbalance, such as calcium deficiency. Therefore, providing the correct food is very important in feeding.

What kind of food can be provided? For example: tofu, purple cabbage, turnips, mustard greens, celery, dandelions, green beans, green peppers, leeks, snow peas, grapes, radishes, pears, etc. are all foods that green iguanas can eat with confidence. Be careful not to just feed them one or two of the above vegetables, but try to provide them with a variety of vegetables. At the same time, vegetables rich in oxalic acid, such as spinach, rhubarb, beets, celery stems, etc., should be avoided in the food given to green iguanas. Otherwise, it is still easy to get calcium deficiency bone disease. There are also vegetables such as cabbage, broccoli, and cauliflower that can cause thyroid problems in green iguanas, and they should not be fed in appropriate amounts.
