Causes of a skinny Igg

MultipleMorphHerps Jan 17, 2005 11:12 PM

I have an older iguana and am wondering why she is so skinny? I feed her as much as she will eat, had a fecal done (negative), and she act totally fine, interested in what im doing, and likes to roam outside of her cage. The only thing I can think of is cage too small (upgrading in spring) or temps could be a little higher (will be adding more heat sources tomorrow).

Thanks for the responce, I am not sure of her age and I did get her as a rescue. Her diet consists of collards, bannana, bell pepper, peas, carrots, kale, mustard greens, etc. Her diet is fine and her lighting as in uv is fine too. I don't know her previous car either. I think I will take her in for a blood test.
