You should supliment vitamins and calcium in their diet. Mine love chopped zucinni. You can get the little green cubes at the pet store . They are called iguana bites. They smell really good and may stimulate it's appetite. Maybe you should consider taking it to the vet, he may give it a shot of vitamin B complex with a little cortesone in it that will perk him up and make it hungry. The local petstore should have a good book on iguanas. Please buy one now, and read it as soon as possible. There is a lot of responsibility to owning an iguana. They may live up to 20 years, and can grt to six feet long. If you aren't ready to take on that much responsibility, then find someone who is. The Petshop or your vet might place him for you. I have four, the largest two being three feet long. I run a reptile rescue. The only iguana I have ever lost was a hatchling that the petstore gave me to see if I could save it. It was too far gone when I got it.

Good luck! They really are worth all the trouble they are, and believe me, the bigger, the more trouble they can get into!

I suggest you go to http://www.greenigsociety.org/.. They will have all the info you need. The iguana is probably just stressed. Make sure you aren't feeding it romaine or iceburg lettuce, its no good for them. Just print the list on the website above and go to the grocery store.

They are a bit of work and initially expensive. Mine is litter trained and lives in a 5'Hx4'Wx2'Deep enclosure that my dad built. I love my iggy, she is about 9 years old now.
