Staple Leafy Green list | natural-iguana

Nutritional Values

Due to so little data being available at this time relating to nutrient plant composition plant species I have done my best using what limited sources of information I could find. There are some foods listed on this websites lists where there is no nutrient profile listed. The reason they are included is only for my own referencing until such a time I can update or otherwise find evidence to to those foods. However suggestive evidence with other species or experience and common sense has led me to the conclusion the items are safe and can be fed. It is at the readers discretion if they choose to feed some of these items. Researching ad compiling this list for the last 5 years last updated 2017.

The Green iguana (Iguana iguana) is a herbivore, specializing in a more complex folivore frugivore feeding strategy in the wild.

There diets are often varied which means this species is highly opportunistic and at times selective dependent upon seasons and times of the year.
80% of there diet in the wild is made up mostly of leafy green vegetation from the trees, shrubs, vines, cacti, plants and weeds.
In captivity they do well on a similar diet and this should where possible be replicated as best the owner can. These food lists in each section should also be applicable to Cyclura, Diposaurus, Sauromalus Iguana Delictissma, Brachylophus and partially Ctenosaura sp
