Hello,
I have red Iguana that I had for 4 days so far.. He is not a year old 3x3 cage its 90% in there and I have dark greens in there with some nature zone Iguana bites as well...
What do I do.....
This litte one is not eating is this ok or what...
He is on the move a lot and walking....Playful litten one...

Mist him twice daily, basking temps should be at least 95, warm zone 85, with a cooler spot to retreat to if needed. Are the dark greens good greens like collard, mustard, escarole? Mix it with some veggies like green beans, squash, sweet potato, cut into small enough pieces. Also top it with some fruit like mango, papaya, apple, just a little bit of fruit, like a salad topping. The Uv should be a high quality UV light that is positioned close enough to him to get a good bit of basking...about 6-12" away from the lizard. You may want to consider get a stool sample checked by a vet for a parasites as well. Adding Nutribac probiotics is good for digestive health.

If the husbandry is good, then his appetite will kick in.

I had the same problem when I first got my girl. Wwe tried jumpstart but it didn't work. So what we started to do was force feed her, after about a week or so she started to eat on her own. Big fan of endive.
