Iguanas are strict herbivores, needing a diet made up of about 80–90% dark leafy greens, flowers, and only small amounts of fruit. As natural leaf-eaters, they require high-fiber, calcium-rich foods to help prevent metabolic bone disease. A proper diet should consist of fresh, finely chopped vegetables, and all animal protein should be avoided to support long-term kidney health.
Feed daily with a focus on nutrient-rich greens like collard greens, dandelion greens, turnip greens, mustard greens, escarole, and watercress. Add variety by including vegetables such as shredded carrots, bell peppers, green beans, squash (butternut, acorn, or yellow), zucchini, and parsnips.
