I have a one year old Cuban Rock iguana that is experiencing feeding issues. He has always been an excellent eater. About two weeks ago, I began to notice a decrease in the amount of food that was being consumed. Now, he is barely picking at his food. A fecal exam has revealed nothing unusual. His activity level and general demeanor remain unaltered. I have made an appointment take him to the vet, but the earliest that I can have him seen is 10 days from now (we presently have only one veterinarian in town who specializes in herps, so his schedule is usually quite full). Can anyone offer any suggestions for tempting him to eat in the meantime?



As a side note, nothing in his environment has been altered. He is housed in a 60"x 30"x 30" enclosure (wood with sliding glass front doors) with the following temperature specs:



Daytime Gradient: 88F on cool end, 95F warm end

Basking site: 105F

Night temp: 82F

UV lights: 2x48" Zoomed Reptisun 10.0



Heat is provided by a combination of halogen basking lights and a radiant heat panel controlled by a Herpstat Pro thermostat.
