I know what you mean but if you have your heart set on an animal it makes sense to read up as much as you can prior to buying it..That way the animal doesn't suffer whilst you figure out whats right and whats wrong for it...A good start would be to start searching on the net for iguana diet..it will throw plenty of info up and any that you are not sure about feel free to ask here.

Murtle, I think if you read what Stuart has posted. He's trying to help and asked you the best is to do research, he did even put up links for you. I don't see him answered your rudely. If you just want a simple answer with the diet. Then he could just answer you iguana is 199% vegan. I am sure you will find another forum to answer you the questions but doubt it will be as informative that you can find on Captive Bred. On no he has not paid me to say that. Exclamation

it makes sense to find out first what they eat etc. say you buy a rep, then do research and find out it that species can only eat live mice, or chicks etc, you then decide 'oh i cant do that', the poor rep is then passed from pillar to post. you should always find out first.
i dont think anyone was rude, you did get two good sites to find out about its diet.
