Odds are it was broken in the process of being bagged when caught and transfered to where ever it was that she was sent. These guy's are pretty much handled like a bunch of worms when being dealt with in the trade. Those guy's just scoop up a bunch at a time and they don't care if they are still trying to cling to something or not. You can find many in the trade that will have even missing toes.. She will be Ok. They manage just fine with this little handicap!!

I have PMd them back regarding how to post but am putting their issue up for them. Hi I'm sorry to bother you but I can't figure out how to put a new post up yet. I have a few concerns about my iguana i was wondering if you could help. He can't seem to stay on his branches and is very lethargic. In fact he isn't moving much at all. His eyes seem ok and he seems ok in himself but he seems to be struggling to move. He's eating when we put him right next to his food but he isn't going to it himself. His colours are still normal but he is looking very skinny. This literally just came on overnight. I'm struggling to find a vet here that has had experiance with iguanas and I'm really worried about him. He's about a year old and has always been very active. Could it be MBD? His jaw and limbs are not spongy they seem fine, he just seems to be struggling to move. Please if you have any information you could share i would really appreciate it.

As soon as i have more info will post it up... When i spoke to them on the phone on wednesday she said they have a custom built enclosure in shop that someone has brought in that they are selling but im not sure of size or any details about it as we are going in to the shop we can look for our selves. We are planning to build our own in any case, so my hubby has a few weeks off i think at xmas so we can work better on it then. We have been reading up and checking out all the great ones on the forum also for ideas.. getting quite exctied about building our own (^_^) Don't worry i don't intend on ''making do'' all my animals always have the largest homes i can give them. And all will have free roam of the house at some point during the day/eveing depending on who needs what time (^_^) I am making plans to move the ferrets also so as to not strees new iggy out with a bunch of crazy mad ferrets having playtime around his/her enclosure. Going to put iggy in my sons room for a few weeks so as not too many people are poking in starring over the xmas hols.. dont want visitors stressing poor little guy out in his first few weeks here. We are not rushing into this, have been trying to think of every angle to make sure things can run as smoothly as i can make them for iggy. Moving to a new home is a scary thing indeed and i want to build up a trust slowly so we can both work each other out at our own pace.

Live plants are pretty much a case of banging your head against the wall. What the ig doesn't eat, it will tear up. I am so glad to see you doing your research. So much of the time we are greeted with, " I got this iguana a while back and now its sick, how do I take care of it?" Get you a copy of "Green Iguana: The Ultimate Owners Manual" by James Hatfield. Best book out there! Link to Post - Back to Top   Logged www.Herpcenter.com Result 14 of 20: Author Topic: Hello Everyone!!

The minimum size for a hatchling is a 55 gallon tank or equivalent.

Ok now.. my head is swimming with so much info i just want to get things clear before i go out and buy my setup for my new iggy. Living in England can anyone give me a nice shopping list to take with me when i go to hunt down everything i need to get us going. I have been reading your posts but as it seems there are people from all over the world on here i just want to be sure im not confusing my self with what is out there for a uk iggy. Today i have learnt some good points that no one else has offered information on..being the point to use newspaper *note taken to save papers* and not to use a red bulb at nite as they have a light sensor on the top of there heads (this i did not know )Im finding all of this very fascinating learning all about them. so much great info all under one roof !! I just can't get enough of reading so much good stuff.. Think im still going to be sitting here come xmas reading .. lol My hubby and i also have found your section on housing very very useful and it is giving us some great ideas for a custom build for baby igg to grow into. As i said in my intro we plan to buy an enclosure to start off with as i plan to reuse it after baby has grown out of it for more reptiles (ive got the bug i think) so anyway, sry for long post if you could help me with a nice shopping list that would be great ! Oh yes!! one more thing ... can i use fruit tree branches if they are soaked well ? i ask this as we have some quite big trees growing in our garden ..apple/pear. Also when we come to build custom build can we use a live planted tree and if so what would be safe for iggy? Ok im done for now i think Link to Post - Back to Top   Logged Result 18 of 20: Author Topic: Hello Everyone!!

They are realy good climbers. And it is a waste of space if he can't reach every part of the cage. I added a picture of the cage I have (just part of it because I can't get a photo of the total cage, it's to big) .
