iguana Yummies??

mike d Dec 06, 2003 07:25 PM

i saw them on a site and i was wondering if they are good to feed(not every day) but as a treat to my new adopted ig(who is doing alot better by the way... he can climb but is a little shaky)

here is the link http://www.ectotherm.com/ect/iguana.htm
also they have i think they called them calcium bites would they work to give him calcium i dont know if they would be better or just as good as the powder.

Thanks

Mike and IGGY

We got a few free samples... I actually liked them as a treat. Ingredients looked ok for treat. Not sure how i would feel about it as a staple food, but went over pretty good here as a treat. They come about as big around as a quarter and stand about a half an inch high. They actually didnt smell too bad either.

I've also tried them and both my iguanas love them, but I agree with the former post that I would not offer them as a staple, but as a treat and as a way to add variety. They are also great for when you need to go away and have someone ig-sit.

All the ingredients are very high quality and they are far better than any other commercial diet I've seen out there for reptiles. The people at Ectotherm are also great to deal with.
