No you shouldnt need to do that. Some guys do it since it seems Cyclura need more protein then green iguanas, however such a heavy meal on the protein side can stress her kidneys and lead to a shortened life span. You dont want to mess with reptile kidney problems and excess protein issues. Hardened vein walls, kidney failure, kidney and bladder stones,etc. "Good stuff"so to speak. Stick to 100% vegetarian diet. Dont forget there are plenty of vegetable based sorces such as green beans, peas, alfafa,etc. If you want to suplement with a litle animal protein go with a insect sorce wich is way safer. Grasshopers and superworms for example. Even thouse use only once a week at maximum.
