    im afraid my iggy is gonna give up, :D ive ha dher since thurs morning. since then she has only really eaten 3 whole satsumas finely dusted in nutrabol (calcium and vitamin balancer) and reptavite vit/min/ amino acid supplement.
    i am aware atm she is in "season" due to her colour and scraping around everywhere in her tank. she comes out eveyrday for 20-30 mins (as im unsure she has eggs or not?) and i know that can be dangerous if they break. drinks ok as far as i can tell. humiditiy is gr8 and heat is perfect. also she seems to have eaten a small about maybe 2 slices of sweet potato?any other ideas? im in the uk if its any help?

    Do you mean scraping as in digging?
    If you even think she has eggs, get a Large dropper, or a syringe, without a needle, load it with babyfood and calcium... a few days of triple amts of calcium (commerical grade powder) is not going to hurt her and this sometimes can help them lay eggs that are binding. Rich dark greens should be offered to her, like collards, dandelion, mustard greens

    IF thats does not work, or if she is appearing lathergic, she really needs to have vet help... soon

    yes scraping like diggin, in all four corners of her tank. not much excrement either. what there is is like bird excrement white liquid state small amount. she isnt lethargic at all when out she away and investigating everything.

    Iguana feces is almost exactly like bird feces so it sounds like her feces is normal but there isn't much of it due to the fact that she's not eating. Definitely take Cheri's advice on the foods, she needs a well rounded diet.
