My iguana hates calcium powder how else can I supplement it to him?

Question

He will not eat his food when I sprinkle it on.

Answer 1

If you have a 5.0 UVB light and are feeding it properly you don't need any supplements.

They should be feed:

45% leafy greens such as escarole, dandelions, endive, mustard, and collards, NO lettuces or spinach! They aren't good for him.
45% hard mixed veggies such as an orange flesh squash the harder the better(acorn,pumpkin,butternut... fresh green beans, fresh peas, parsnip, and green bell peppers, NO broccoli or cauliflower, or avocado!
10% fruit such as figs, papaya, mango, pear, and berries. NO bananas, only very rarely as a treat.
NO ANIMAL PROTEIN such as bugs, meat, eggs, or cheese!

Temperature:

They need a basking area of 95-100 and normal temps of 75-85. NO heat rocks!

Lights:

They need a 5.0 UV light.

Hydration:

They should also get baths everyday or so. And should have a water bowl in their cage.

Vet:

You should take Your Iguana for regular vet checkups to make sure it is in good health. Reptiles can have internal parasites that can harm them so you should make sure the vet checks that.

Here are some good sites, the first one was recomended by my vet.

Answer 2

Do NOT gove your iguana crickets, some people recommend it, but it's way too easy to give them too many, best to avoid them altogether.

Does he like applesauce? I've had a fair amount of luck mixing it in with applesauce and feeding that way. I believe they make calcium sprays as well.

my iguana has no problem eating anything but his most favorite treat is when I chop up turnip greens and mix them with baby food. I could probably feed him most anything mixed in baby bananas or some other fruit. try that good luck if you find out what works let us know I am sure you are not the only one with this problem.

Answer 5

You hate expertise over seems? WWE is the precise opposite of that, and that is been shown that many followers pay interest to visual allure over different attributes. expertise could desire to be a precedence in any sport, and WWE isn't any exception, in spite of the "entertainment" tag with expert Wrestling. i do unlike "Superman" gimmicks. besides the incontrovertible fact that, Hulk Hogan became the only wrestler that extremely exemplified that. Hulk Hogan gained remarkable fits in unbelieveable procedures. John Cena became no longer an unbeatable champion. he's a considerable-eventer, and as a considerable-eventer, he should be greater advantageous than a majority of mid-carders and be on par with different considerable-eventers. seem how long his fits are and how a lot he has to warfare to triumph over everybody. Undertaker isn't Superman! you basically stated his WM Streak, yet WM happens as quickly as a twelve months! Undertaker has lost many fits to different wrestlers, alongside with Batista, area, vast instruct, and Stone chilly Steve Austin. Even in the process the ideas-set era and circumstances in the previous, Undertaker has lost many considerable fits. he's no longer something close to to a Superman.

Answer 6

Have you tried live crickets? Maybe the treat of crickets will help him overcome the powder.
