Calcium/phosphorus ratio of fresh figs for iguana diet?

Question

I have recently treated my 15 months old iguana to fresh figs and she really likes the fruit. And though I have quite a lot of books on iguanas I could not find in any of them the calcium/phosphorus ratio of fresh figs. Does anyone know? I feed my Iggy a very healthy diet of green leaves, vegetables and fruits and do not want unknowingly to introduce anything into it that might jeopardize it. Thank you.

Answer 1

Figs should be fed occassionally because they contain too much phosphorus, I believe!

Answer 2

An iguana's diet should consist of a variety of dark green leafy vegetables, but you should minimize the use of vegetables that contain oxalates like spinach, parsley and kales; although this is still being debated. Fruits should be only a small proportion of the diet.Alfalfa based is preferable to corn or wheat. Juvenile iguanas should be fed daily and you should chop all of the ingredients into a size that can be easily handled.

Answer 3

I'm afraid I do not know.

All that I do know I learned from a friend of mine.

He learned it from his late iguana.

never Never NEVER feed an iguana a firefly.......They tend to die afterwards.

Answer 4

feeding them a large amount or over a long time may cause the runs as does with prunes in a human. be careful and just watch it for anything different.

Answer 5

I don't know enough about iguanas to tell you but go to www.kingsnake.com under iguanas then under diet. Hope it helps.
