Hi I have had my iguana for over 10 years so I do know the normal food he should be eating but he seems to have taken a very big liking to bread and butter!! I went in his house the other week with a sandwich and he went crazy for it and chased me around until I gave him some. He really likes it, but I am worried its not good for him I give him a slice once a week and so far have had no problems. Can anyone tell me if its really bad to give him this as I dont want to make him ill, but it is funny when he goes crazy over it. Is it only my nutty animal or does anyone elses Ig like this?  |

I would leave the butter or margarine off but many use whole wheat bread as an occasional treat. I had never tried it but when Patrick and Denise came out, Denise tried to give my three some and they stuck their noses up to it. But later when I accidently dropped a piece in some water Baby tried it and went crazy over it and so I dipped some more in water and gave it to them all. They all liked the soaked version. I don't keep bread so they haven't had any since. I guess I should buy a loaf and store it the freezer for them.

Yup...what Marie said. Its probably the bread part that your ig likes anyway. Just make sure to dip it in water first so your ig doesn't get dehydrated by the bread. As an occasional treat, its fine, just leave off the butter or margarine.  Heh...my nutty animal bit me twice on the ear last week because I had been eating french fries and touched my ear. She goes nuts when she smells french fries.  Welcome to IZ! ;D |

My daughter doesn't like the crusts on her bread, so occasionally they will become Kyo treats, too. Loves them soaked in water.

Zok is nuts for bread as well! She will follow you all over the house for it. Even stand up on her hind legs like a dog begging!
I too would suggest leaving off the butter!

Thanks everyone
I will soak the bread in water from now on
I cant believe that your Iguanas like bread too I thought it was just my crazy animal.
They are mad creatures arent they?

Well I gave them some again today. Baby went beserk and lightly nipped my finger. I probably gave her too much but since she has only had it twice in the 10 years I had her I figured what the heck and she really needed the extra water. Dragon was enthusiastic for the first few bites but then that was it for her. Same with Huff.
