How often should a green iguana be fed?

The owner should feed a green iguana once a day, with the amount depending on its size. Green iguanas are omnivorous; as juveniles they prefer animal foods such as crickets, mealworms and eggs.

After adulthood, the owner can feed more plant foods like vegetables, leaves and fruit. Mix foods thoroughly when feeding to prevent the iguana from picky eating and the long-term malnutrition that follows.
