A show on how to properly feed your Iguana.

[@LionGoddess1]

I love how he nods every time you ask him a question.. beautiful colours on him!

[@jackkrauser8687]

perfect demonstration of correct diet choice for your iguana so glad to see people instructing other correctly u like in other videos I've seen

[@MadameKatGames]

That Godzilla roar just killed me 😂😂😂😂😭😭😭😭

[@amberuplinger4281]

This was super helpful!! I've been looking everywhere for information about iguanas. I just got a blue iguana about a month ago. He's 2 months old now :)

[@Melodin1]

+Amber Uplinger AND NOW 10months . How is he doing?

[@howliniverson818]

@@Melodin1 n now 4 years old I hope he's gucci 💯✌🏾

[@yasser3389]

I loved the Godzilla roar :)

[@cMARVEL360]

Thank you Soo much for taking the time to make such a great video!

[@DESIGNERPENCIL]

this is THE BEST iguana food tutorial ! 10 stars if possible,

[@fitodaking16]

for some reason i dont like freezing or microwaving my iguanas veggies. i always serve it fresh..

[@aubreygoebel3513]

I dont think you should! cooking above 130 degrees or freezing kills the enzymes in the plants( plants are alive, as if youd cook a human theyd die) more natural energy for em!!!

[@fitodaking16]

Aubrey Goebel i think when you freeze and cook the veggies it get watery....

[@Luckelux]

I freeze my iguana food but I do not heat it to thaw it. Cooking it kills the nutrients more than anything.

[@sharonrobertson1804]

I always fed mine fresh greens, and fresh veggies. I also bought frozen mixed veggies which I steamed and cooled for him.

[@sharonrobertson1804]

I never froze my iguanas greens or veggies either, always served it fresh. However, I did buy a bag of frozen peas or green beans and steamed them for him.

[@1mastermark]

You forgot avocado, that is also poisonous and deadly!

[@sharonrobertson1804]

anything from the brassica family such as broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower and kale are bad for them as well.

[@sharonrobertson1804]

They can't eat anything from the cabbage family either like kale, cauliflower, broccoli, brusselsprouts or bok choy and chinese cabbage. Onions and tomatoes are not good for them either.

[@shinyhunter1051]

Godzilla roar haha

[@homielizard606]

1998 Godzilla XD

[@homielizard606]

BTW nice profile pic

[@xXxTearsTilThenxXx]

This was an excellent video! I'm getting an iguana soon and was hesitant due to their diet (I only ever buy frozen veggies for myself so I'm not at the grocery store every week), I'm happy to see that buying fresh then freezing is an option!

[@theyellowtaco416]

Lady Jade you shouldn't freeze the veggies and then microwave them it takes away all the enzymes in the veggies and that's not good

[@nightfrog9ofdacheese]

thank you so much!! i really liked being able to see you make your igwana's food !

[@AstronomyGuru84]

I just gave my 10 year old female iggy a bowl of collards, turnip and mustard greens with some green beans chopped up. she'll get a banana or mango treat later in the day. I can't find dandelion greens or cactus leaves at any local grocery stores where I live. I think I'll grow some dandelions this summer in pots.

[@rolando202]

You can use good quality alfalfa rabbit food either crushed or shredded. I prefer fresh veggies and greens. As far as papaya goes, yes I think that it would be a great treat! Just remember Greens 40-45%, other veggies 40-45%, and fruit 10% or less a week.

[@cvmitchell9368]

Thank you Rolando!!

[@TheAnimalGuyTV]

Very good video! Nice and informative! Thank you!

[@deprogramyamind1050]

Exelent video very helpful u have my subscription keep up the good work

[@kathleenrasing5969]

You're awesome! Lucky iguana!! Haha thanks for this!

[@Customclone45]

Good video man very informative and concise. Thanks

[@pamkuziak410]

I'm going to try freezing some veggies. Cause it goes bad in frig to fast. If they don't like it. Then back to toss salads and fresh veggies.

[@gerardoh8753]

Did you use this type of feeding system when killer was small like a hatchling or juvenile? And how long should the staple greens and veggies be refrigerated for?

[@rolando202]

After coming out of the Microwave all the veggies are soft and cooked. You can cut the harder veggies smaller to make it easier for them.

[@jonathanrogers7009]

U still got him this day

[@carlosnino4864]

Hey, doesn't freezing the Greens, and Veggies remove all the Vitamins & Minerals, rendering them no good? I wanna try freezing since eveything goes bad in the Fridge.

[@rolando202]

While the first step of freezing vegetables-blanching them in hot water or steam to kill bacteria and arrest the action of food-degrading enzymes-causes some water-soluble nutrients like vitamin C and the B vitamins to break down or leach out, the subsequent flash-freeze locks the vegetables in a relatively nutrient-rich state.

[@chelseafaye2679]

Thank you sooooo much!

[@DaveDurham]

I just came across this video. I think it would be a lot cheaper to feed the iguanas iguana pellets or rabbit pellets with some greens and bananas. Instead of trying to have people go out and spend 80 dollars on the stuff you buy in this video. I know iguanas eat what you have in this video, but most people that buy green iguanas are young. That said young people want an easier way to take care of their pet iguana. And saying that animal protein will make an iguana aggressive is completely wrong. I have fed green iguanas a diet of mainly canned dog food for years without them being aggressive. That was before most people in the states even knew about pet iguanas and the diet was completely unknown. I don't feed iguanas canned dog food anymore because of the iguana pellets you can buy now. I do know that animal protein can or may be harmful to green iguanas and don't recommend feeding that to them but, starvation is not good either. I have iguanas that I have hatched out from eggs that has a main diet of pellets, rabbit or iguana. My iguanas live into their teens, and although people say their should live into they are twenty is like saying humans should live into their 100's, some do and some don't. Wouldn't it be better to have a green iguana live at least a few years my way then having people give up on them and having unwanted reptiles trying to feed them a diet you describe?

[@rolando202]

Dave Durham If you cant afford to take care of an animal, don't.

[@tbk_amir2160]

im getting a iguana today

[@LeetPitdog]

Great video, had good info.

[@rolando202]

When I bought my Killer 13 years ago he cost 10 dollars. I found out shortly after that he needed $400 dollars worth of cage, lights, ceramic heat emitters, cat box, litter, basking lamp, "branches" cargo net, etc. Male Iguanas will grow to 6 ft. in length, and 18 pounds! Like with any pet, make sure you do the research on the habitat that they need to thrive. They can make great pets but do take lots of love, time, and patience. Good luck!

[@meganswitzer5419]

Hey use cat litter??

[@mega1metalhead]

you should of softened those squashes and that carrot thing and you should of cut the veggies smaller and thinner. but btw great video :D

[@thewhiteboy750]

Awesome vidieo

[@hippigirlful]

Nice video. Killer is great he's beautiful I myself have 2 iguanias an got them wen babys now there both 2 years old. Can I as how many times do I feed killer. Am I supposed to feed one day or 2 day ??

[@rolando202]

I only spend about $25 dollars a month for my adult male on this diet. Since the food is frozen you can keep it for as long as it takes him to eat it. Just make sure the food is chopped small enough for your greenie's mouth.

[@abrahamspets3424]

Good info😊

[@setiadarma]

So cool

[@kanahbis3236]

This really helped thank you so much!:)

[@shinyhunter1051]

wait remember how you said that one thing that looks like a red carrot I saw a supposed "professional" care video and it said feed the piosonus fruit or vegetable to them daily and not soon after the person did a video that there iguana died

[@PhreshKartel2]

How do I get my iguana to not only eat fruit? He picks over his greens

[@LionGoddess1]

can you cook the harder veggies for them so they can swallow it without lodging it in their throats?

[@slammedaudi5784]

You sound like that guy that does ratatouille

[@nikosozmorio5912]

I have a 40 gallon breeder thats empty what shall I put inside?

I you guy is increadable ly beautiful an awesome set up

[@stephaniejohnson7637]

My iguana has the darkness underneath this chin, why does he get that.

[@bradleytristan2610]

that means you have a rock iguana

[@rolando202]

Fresh veggies would be best as long as you follow the proper diet.

[@paulafurnare-biggs1713]

i have a very picky baby iguana any suggestions

[@gorlyrhombus2021]

hand feed it if u tries to bite u easy and will eat anything at first

[@gorlyrhombus2021]

try strwberrys cut into small pieces and he will smell it and eat it eventually if all fails

[@siren7925]

Try to cut a squash into tiny pieces if it doesn’t work I recommend that you give it cut up strawberries for a snack

[@dimplesluvsu2]

How many times a day you feed him?

[@kanahbis3236]

Should I feed my iguana apple slices?

[@homielizard606]

... I don't think they do..

[@danielreis6865]

l am yuo list diet iguana

[@baddude9314]

Do iguanas make nois I never herd anything from my iguana

[@wonton_skatez2109]

HAHA i garentee your lying about having a iguana if you really think the cheasy noises in this vid are from his lizard😂😂

[@cjd5255]

Baddude 04 sometimes. I've heard of them kinda purring. I've always kissed mine. Gosh he gets like 50 kisses a day. So sometimes when he's falling asleep or sleeping he makes the sound. Which is compared almost to a ferret doing their dook dook sound

[@kathleenrasing5969]

Why don't you try saying the ff: "Iguana! MAKE SOME NOISEE!!!" hahaha

[@sharonrobertson1804]

I had mine for 22 yrs and he never said a thing .. lol once in awhile he would sort of chortle but that was rare.

[@sharonrobertson1804]

Def not his iguana making those crazy sounds.. I think its just sound effects he is using.

[@jonasbravo1998]

Can you provide your grocery list???

[@sharonrobertson1804]

They can eat endive, dandelion greens, escarole, arugula, mustard greens, bell peppers, peas, carrots, cucumbers, green and yellow beans, squash, berries, grapes, bananas and mangoes. You can test his tastebuds with other fruit .. using small amounts to see if he likes it. My iguana didn't like peaches or kiwi.. or pears. He died at the age of 22 and in the end I fed him strained baby food .. he loved it.

[@keith64883]

can anybody tell me the greens

[@nokia3416]

Lettuce is awesome and good for you

[@sharonrobertson1804]

0 nutrients in lettuce.

[@lauriemeerlarock5649]

Chao Yang They will die of malnutrition on lettuce. They need 50% greens, 40% vegetables, 10% fruits- berries are excellent.

[@siren7925]

They could choke if they eat lettuce

[@nokia3416]

But his iguana is fine and it can't eat lettuce

[@londonjade2001]

when greens are frozen you are suppose to add thiamine back to them!!

[@adriancervantes1100]

can my iguana eat green onions ??

[@sharonrobertson1804]

No.. do not feed him onions at all.. or celery, or tomatoes .. or kale, any type of cabbage, broccoli or cauliflower.

[@sharonrobertson1804]

No I wouldn't feed your iguana onions of any kind.

[@siren7925]

The iguana might die. But fruits and berries are great for them

[@kylethekreator1169]

Carnivores eat meat And herbivores eat plants

[@homielizard606]

Herb=Herbs Carni=meat I just noticed this

[@lauriemeerlarock5649]

My 8 year old male Iguana is 25 lbs. Yours looks like a female, seriously.

[@rolando202]

Laurie LaRock Please watch my video Iguana porn. It'll remove all doubt.

[@sharonrobertson1804]

My iguana was 12 lbs at his heaviest weight and he was 22 when he died. He was never a huge lizard, some are smaller than others.

[@1stavitia]

Do not feed small children, LOL.

[@IsaacLX3]

Biggest waste of time EVER.
