Question
my boyfriend and i know a lot about iguannas. today we where at the pet store and i felt so bad for this baby i had to buy her she is a few months old 4 at the most. when we took her out the cage she could hardly hold her head up. i got her home and gave her a bath and put her under a light. she is now moving and holding her head up. the pet store said they been feeding her crikets and she hasnt ate in a few days which you can tell.  i gave her mustard greens bannas mango and cheynne sqush which i cut up real fine these are the same things i feed my big girl. i was just wondering if their is something more i can do to enhance this little hope more chances of making it though the next day or so.

Answer
Hello Kathrine, I am happy to hear the little ig is doing better and eating.

Keep her warm and be sure she gets all her UV lighting and supplements as well. A vet check up just to ensure there is nothing else wrong wouldnt hurt.

Not sure if you have her with the other one but keep them separate if you are not already.

Hope that helps,
Good luck
