I'm not exactly sure...but I think the iguana stuff has more protein. I could be wrong, (so someone correct me if I'm wrong).... That's better for them and they can handle it better than tortoises. Young growing Tortoises will paramide badly if they eat too much protein. I always try to include high protein veggies in my green's salad because the leafy green veggies are not as nutritious as the hard ones. When mine was young I use to put some alfalfa in his salad. I used the rabbit pellets and I made sure alfalfa is the number one ingredient and made sure there are no added animal protein. If you use the alfalfa tea leaves, they tend to eat the salad better because you don't have to use as much. the leaf is what you want. The rabbit pellets usually have other stuff mixed into it, so you have to use more. Some iguana will not touch the salad if it smell too strongly of alfalfa. They feed alfalfa to horses because they have large muscles, so they need it for building strong muscles...like a body builder...and bones. Green iguanas climb, so I guess they need strong muscles and bones.....
