Pooping like crazy

revolutionmellon Jan 01, 2011 05:11 PM

Okay so you would think I would know this by now. Do cycluras poop more than green iguanas? It seems that the Cyclura poops at least once a day, and if she is roaming around She goes every hr. up to 3 times a day. (Of course there is less and less every time.)

Question is, Is she scent marking? Would bulking her up more with Mazuri/Alfafa Pellets help?

Or is she just gross...its hard to love something so adorable, when it is so gross lol

marking. edge of rooms, doorways and on top of things with some height to them perhaps? Some put lizard in the tub before roaming to get it all out. that might help.

Yeah, thats what I'm guessing..

I always poop her in the tub first...then take her out...and If i keep her out (within the hr. ) she goes agan and again...

You can take the Iggy out of the jungle, but you cant take the jungle out of the Iggy.
