NO, biggy! If you iguana doesn't want to eat it, it's fine. Commercial iguana food should only be used as a supplement anyway, not as the main staple. Iguanas will do just fine on greens and veggies. They don't need the commercial food.

Paradon makes a good point, However if you still wish to try to feed your iguana this product as a supplement. Try letting it soak in water for 5-10minutes (or until softened but not squishy and mushy. think cereal, would you want to eat cereal thats been left in milk too long?) not only will this soften it, possibly making it more appetizing but it will also help add some more liquids into your iguana's diet which is rarely a bad thing.
Good luck!
