Although 130+ F for a ground temp in the DR is common, Most of the iggys I saw at that time were in the shade. Typically I have found that my rhinos liked(I gave up my collection) to maintain a body skin temp around 98 degrees when active during the day. You can check yours with a temp gun. There needs to be a hotter and a colder area for them to thermoregulate between. Avoid all medications during breeding season.
Sometimes iggies will stop eating geens if they get burned out on them, or their is something in the mix they don't like, and they are not always that good at picking out what that item might be, so they just don't eat any of it. I have seen this with some when mustard greens, or too much kale or spinich is in the mix.
Good Luck
