Question
Hey,
i would like to know why isn't my iguanas eating. I just got it couples days ago i always leave a fresh plate of food for it every morning,but it don't seem to be eating it. I give it a lot of vegetables and some fruits mix together.Is there a reason why this situation has occur? thank you

Answer
Hello Kim, it is common for them not to eat the first week of their new home.

She/he is probably stressed and still not comfortable with the new enclosure, new sounds, smells and sights.

Give her some time to settle in and get used to all the new things going on. If after a week of no eating then I would start to be concerened.

Good luck
