As I have been reading dry pellet diets for iguanas, and fidn it difficult to obtain some of the products recommend, I saw several posts that says that rabbit pellets used as bedding, if ingested, is "good for them".

I also saw a post which says that some of the recommended products here have essentially the same ingredients as rabbit pellets, but listed in different order.

I also found that certain brands of iguana specific foods were talked about as "incomplete", because they are missing the alfalfa component. Which is what we see in rabbit pellets.

I have bought zoo med and basically it looks like effin' rabbit pellets!

So why not just feed rabbit pellets? I am not saying you should, or that it is OK. I don't know if it is. I am just posing the question to see what people think and hopefully learn more.

I myself own a green iguana, not cyclura. But it seems their dietary requirements are very similar if not identical to cycluras, and green iguana forum members do not know nearly as much as, nor are as willing to discuss, dry pellets as cyclura owners, thus my post here instead. However, if there are differences, please do let me know, and if adjustments need to be made.
