Although there are some poisonous foods that cyclura eat, rule of thumb -- follow iguana iguana diets. Bad foods:low in calcium, high in phosphorus, and oxalates that inhibit calcium absorbtion. Carrots,Spinach,Broccoli are high in oxalates, but are ok as a ingredient of a big salad. Collard greens are a good staple because of high calcium to phosphorus ratio. Variety is always good. If using produce, freshness is also important. High grade commercial diet foods are also good to fill in nutrients that might be lacking in a produce diet. As for a fruits: Figs are high in calcium and I never had a cyclura that did not love them.
