Let your iguana starve a bit untill he starts to eat correctly. By giving him so much animal protein your risking its long term health both at its bonne growth ( thouse bugs have both too much protein and phosphorus, wich can creat a unbalance that leads to metabolic bonne desiase) and at the kidney level wich can become stressed. Remenbar this guys only need a very small amount of animal protein, if any at all. Also if your already using bugs you dont need monkey show wich has the same probs as bugs. You should base the diet as much as you can in fiber rich leafy greens and weeds(mustard, turnip, collard and chycory greens, dandilions, water cress, Malva silvestris, Hibiscus, spineless Opuncia,etc) complemented with some vegetables (carrots, squash, zuchini, green beans) and stuff like mazuri. As for the basking temps I would go for 100 F max because its only a baby.
