    Mine loves his red bananas and dandelion greens the best. I'm trying cactus pear this week...should be interesting. I wouldn't feed your ig cabbage on a regular basis, I'd try some leafy greens like mustard, turnip, collard, etc as the base of the diet. But I've heard they like parsley and cilantro, but mine won't try those.

    Well, lettuce doesn't provide any nutrition at all so that's why it's not worth feeding. As for mustard greens...I have no idea if you can get them in the uk...heck, they could be called something different there for all I know lol But you can offer kale with the other greens.

    Is this the same thing as a prickly pear by any chance? I found that to be the most terrible experiance w/ my beardie. It is filled with small little seeds all throughout it, and it took like 40 minutes to make sure i got all the seeds out for one serveing my beardie...then he didnt even eat it.

    I think it might be. I haven't cut it open yet, so I don't know what it's like on the inside. I've heard it's okay to feed to them so I thought I'd at least get one to see what it's like before I try offering it to him. I'll let you know. He's picky so he probably won't eat it either.

    Leafy greens and other vegtables are a staple but, watch your fingers if you offer Dizzy oranges! Once he smells them, he doesn't even bother to eye-ball where they are. I don't try to hand feed them anymore. Just put them in his dish and back off :D

    My iguana is by no means picky. Sometimes he will get into a mood and refuse to eat everything on his plate...but you can be sure the next day he doesn't leave a drop. He's nuts about banana, papaya, and bread. Even though I mix it in, he'll pick out every last piece.
