    My iguana is eating but the food is not coming out. i think it is because i have moved him in his winter aquarium until i get a glass enclosure. if that is not the reason maybe one of you guys have a suggestion. thanks.

    Need a little more info. What size is the aquarium? How big is your iguana? What are the temps in his cage: basking spot, temperature gradient? What are you feeding him? :?

    the size of the aquarium is the size of a 22 g. but i get her out of it over half the day the only thing i use it for is so that she can go to the bathroom, eat and sleep. it is about 85 degrees all the time. and today i fed him blueberries, acorn squash, parsnips, mustard greens, and green beans. i cut them samller than his head so he won't choke. i don't have a basking spot because i take on daily outdoor basking when the sun is out. i think he is just a little stressed out because of the big change. i will wait to see what happens, to see if he will go. if he deosn't i am scheduling a vet app. on monday because they are closed this weekend. if you have any other suggestions, it would be much appreciated.
