their cyclura outdoors. I had this week a rat learn how to enter the iguana's hide shed through a cat door and proceeded to gnaw three inches of the tail end to the bone on two iguanas tails. While they slept. My male lewisi and caymanensis. As I am still besides myself on how to handle this, I am nightly going to have to barricade both sides of the doors, and reopen every morning -total pain. I purchased tonight rat zappers and rat traps in hopes of killing this bastard who I saw running from the cage tonight. Now the question is, do I get the tail ends of these two iguanas amputated, let it heal (not sure if skin will regrow over exposed bone)and risk infection, or have the vet break the tail end in hopes of generating some re-growth (if cycluras re-grow tails).
This will be a depressing week.
