You can certainly try hand feeding for iguanas that are very
food motivated. Digit, although a good eater, is not motivated
food wise. My best advice is not to push so hard. It took
me 2 years with mine. Your ig will get use to you and become
confident in time. Except for the necessary handling, I let
Digit lead the relationship. One day, all of the sudden, the
light went on and we now have a great relationship. He looks
foward to our interactions. He allows me to handle him
and cuddle him and dress him up (OK, that is going to far).
