Linda is being helpful. I'm sure every Uro owner would agree a 10 gallon is too small even for a baby. Its not that he doesnt have enough room to move. Its that there is no temperature gradient. They need 100 degrees ambient temp on the hot side and around 80 degrees on the cool. You cant get that temp gradient with only a 10 gal.

Every green you listed shouldnt be fed to a Uro often at all. Feed curly endive(a.k.a chicory) and escarole as staples. Add some dandelion and squash every now and then. As the weather warms up also feed flowers. Hibiscus, dandelion, rose.. Research what they like. There is a big list of flowers.

Uros eat flowers in the wild so they are naturally attracted to colorful food items. Buy a small jar of juvenille iguana pellets. The one that has red,yellow and green pellets and spinkle those on the salad.

Also keep a dish of dry split peas, lentils and millet in the cage at all times. Mine love munching on the stuff so that may help entice yours to eat.
