its funny because bout 3 months ago i was posting about my green iguana manny beeing very picky about his food and not eating much took everyones advice and now this iguana eats like there is no tommorow. i feed him everyday a nice sized bowl full of collard green, turnip or mustard greens,& dandelion greens, acorn, butternut, zuchinni,& summer squash, sweet potatos, red bell pepper, red chilli pepper, celery, prickly pear(skinned) and his treats a mango, apples, star-fruit or strawberries 1-2x a week i also add some moist bread(whole wheat) or zoo-med natural juvi pellets(really for my my rhino) every couple of days. i dust with reptocal 3x a week and reptovites 4x a weeks( only because he was in such terrible conditions when he first arrived) he eats everything that is put on his plate (except the pellts, those he just picks at) and he love his food so much he will rush the bowl and start eating before i even get a chance to put it ALL THE WAY DOWN! and he will clear about a lb. of food a day (guesstimate but it is a large amount) and 2/3 of it is gone within the first 5-10 mins.i could barely get him to eat more than a few bites of greens a few months ago lol. i have been waiting on this since i first got him. i guess those mvb really work well lol.

That's great to hear. My male eats like a pig except when it is breeding season, he sometimes scares me during that time because he gets pretty thin. My female is just a pig lol I can't believe how much she eats unless of course she is gravid. Keep up with the variety of foods. Keep us up to date and post some pics.

Happy to hear they are eating well!!! How old is your rhino?? I give me guys carrots too, they love them. And my vet suggested a little bit of tofu, about 5% of their daily plate. Both of my guys seem to really like them.
