Hi Julie,
Yes, there is a reason why we chose iguana food - iguanas are lizards. The lizard's nutritional requirements are slightly different than those of a rabbit. The content of this supplemental food (the dry formula) was designed especially for those requirements.
We do use dried alfalpha (pellets) in our super gutload recipe, as this provides good protein and essential nutrients. However, I would not suggest it as the main ingredient for a well-balanced gutload for lizards.
We have consulted 2 specialty vets and a microbiologist concerning these matters - we feel we are doing all we can to provide nutritious feeder insects to our animals.
Hope this helps, -----
