I feed mine 40-45% veggies and 40-45% greens. For veggies you can feed grated parsnips, winter squash, like acorn squash, butternut squash, etc..., green beans, sugar snap peas, snow peas and some rabbit pellets (alfalfa). For green beans, sugar snap peas, and snow peas I just put it the food processor and chop them up into small pieces and for parsnips and winter squash I grate it with a cheese grater into so it looks like pieces of grated cheese. For greens you can feed collard, mustard, dandelion greens and escarole. I cut up the greens small and remove all the stems, and then mix up with the veggies really well. And then I soak the rabbit pellets in water so it becomes soft and fall apart then mix it in with the salad. Make sure you use rabbit pellets with alfalfa as the first ingredient, and if it has animal protein in it don't use it. Green iguanas are strict herbivores. They do not eat meat or insect in the wild. Giving it animal protein will shorten it lives by overworking the kidneys and livers. I hope this help you out.
