Hello, my name is Jill Phillips, and I'm co-owner of Squeals on Wheels, a traveling petting
zoo and pony rides. My name is John Phillips. We have horses, miniature horses. We have
miniature llamas and alpacas, chickens, ducks. We have bearded dragons. Our website is www.squealsonwheels.us.
Iguanas naturally live in a rain forest. What they eat is only vegetation, leafy green vegetable
matter, and some fruits and flowers. While they're in captivity, we give them the green
leafy substances of vegetables like romaine lettuce, kale, and other green leafy vegetables
with chopped up and diced fruits and some vegetables. We usually feed them one time
a day, but for the youngsters under two years of age, they like to be fed about twice a
day. When we prepare the vegetables and fruits,
chop them up, dice them up into small pieces, and then sprinkle them with a calcium powder
and vitamin supplement that is prepared specially for the reptiles. They do need a calcium supplement
for their food, and it's a very important requirement that you actually put that calcium
powder and vitamin supplement on their food when they eat. Additionally, they like to
have their food misted and sprayed, so it's nice and wet and moist, and while you're doing
that, you can also spray and mist the iguana, they do like that, and it seems to bring them
back into the rainforest habitat in which they used to live.
