She ate, she ate, she ate, she ate!!!!!!

Imagine my excitement when I got home last night to find
small pieces of greens stuck to her mouth and most of the
food missing from her plate. I was so certain it couldn't be
that I took her out and checked every inch of the enclosure
for the food. I had a feeling it was coming as she has been
reluctant for me to syringe feed these last few days and has
been spending alot of time with her face in her dish.

I am hoping the worst is over as 8 months is a long time
to worry and syringe feed. I am trying not to get too
used to the idea though

Please keep your fingers crossed. I think that Digit has
helped because she watches him when he eats.

Awesome!!! I am glad she is finally eating on her own. When I got my little one she didn't eat for 2 weeks and I had to force feed her. I was going crazy and it wasn't even that long. I could not imagine what you have gone through for 8 months. I and I'm sure everyone else here applauds you for your commitment and persistance. And I'm sure your Iggy really does. Great job!!!

Congratulations Linda!! I'm so happy for you! Hopefully Beanie will feed herself from now on

You should check out the Green Iguana Society message board sometime, there are a lot of knowledgable people over there!
