Hi again~ I have another question.  I have been watching Lenore alot and have noticed that on some days she will eat 2 or 3 bowls of food, and be quite active. Then on other days she might eat only one bowl of food, and be less active. Is this normal? Karen |

Hi Karen- Yes, very normal. An Ig will eat until it's content. Right now (spring) they are bulking up and will tend to binge eat. All very normal. Good for you for keeping a close eye on her. Never be afraid to ask questions, it's what we're here for.  |

Yes, that's quite normal. Just like us, some days they are hungrier than others. As long as it all balances out, there is no need for you to be concerned.  |

Bob does the same thing, I never know how much he will eat any one day, and I hate to waste food by letting it sit uneaten in the cage. I feed him the same amount each morning -- adult ig so about 1.5 quarts. When I return from classes I give him a fresh plate with less in it. Each time he cleans off a plate I refill it with a little less. I would rather fill it many times than have a large plate full sit there uneaten.

Hi Mark- You are exactly right. Feed as much as they will eat and use frequent refills as opposed to letting a large portion sit out for a long time. Iguanas are the Reptile equivalents of cows after all. ;D |
