You should separate them ASAP as the other posted stated. Iguanas really shouldn't be housed together as a rule. Some have luck with it but many times this is the result.

After you give it a day or so away from the other one you can take small pieces of mustard, turnip or collard greens, gently pull down its jaw to open it and pop the greens into its mouth. Hopefully after a day or so of this, it will begin to eat on its own. If not, you may have to syringe. I had to do this for over a year with a special needs female that I took in. Pic 1 is 3 wks after I got her. Pic 2 is the day I got her.

Please act right away and hopefully the ig will bounce back.
Linda
