Wild in cage

xblackheart Dec 26, 2005 12:08 AM

I have two baby iguanas. They were really wild when I got them, but have gotten better about letting me hold them. The problem I am having is whenever any one is near the cage, they freak. It does not matter if you are close to the cage. If they see you, they run from side to side, making a mess of their greens, pellets, water and whole cage in general. There is a hide in the cage as well as branches to climb on. Any suggestions on how to stop them from freaking out when ever I walk into my pet room? I have had the iguanas for about 1.5 -2 months.
thanks

here are the pics of what I believe to ba a male and female. The male is a little more wild than the female. Sorry for my hand being the main part of the pic with the male, but he was trying to whip me the whole time
