does he like mango? most igs do. if so you can buy a calcium spray that is mango scented. there is one made by ESU reptile called iguana calcium spray. maybe you can trick him.

My iguana, who is a year old, will only eat greens as well. I took him to the vet over it and she said that all hi calcium and phosphrus is fine. I had x-rays done, and hios bones are great. She said he was perfectly healthy, but to get as MANY types of greens to him as possible. fruit and veggies with greens would be BEST, but if you can only get greens, get as many types as possible.
