That's terrible what they did to her.

I used to do a lot of rescue work when I was younger. I'm not an expert by any means. I did pretty much what your doing. Lots of baths, and let them eat whatever at first. Slowly try and introduce more foods. let them get their strength up before you do anything drastic. Sometimes the color of the food made a difference. I had some that would be intrigued by a new bright color, or would be willing to try a new food the same color as their favorite. And I found all my iguanas would eat better if their salads had a wide variety of colors. It's been like 10 years since I had iguanas, but I think I read that color is very important to them. Lots of different colors are exciting.

I say speak to the owner of Mega Ray bulbs, see what he says. His passion is Iguanas. I think he might even take her from you and adopt for himself...

Try asking your doctor for silverdine ointment. It is especially for burns, and can be safely used on reptiles. DO NOT use it on or in the eyes. It is for external use only. Great stuff.



How is your iggy doing?

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
