In recent years, as more and more families have pets, the breeding of green iguana in China has also begun to be common. But when they first raised green iguanas, most people didn’t know their habits and how to raise them well. Now let me teach you some little knowledge about raising green iguanas.
Green iguanas are extremely vegetarian animals. Their food is mainly plant leaves, flowers and fruits. Therefore, a plant can meet their food needs. For feeding, it is recommended that 70-80% of dark and high calcium green plants, 20-30% of broken vegetables, and 10-20% of fruits and flowers. Green iguanas like bananas, but they can’t be used as their staple food. In addition to a nutritionally balanced diet, green iguanas should also be supplemented with calcium. Calcium powder is their best source of calcium. You can go to the reptile store to buy calcium powder.
The cage for raising green iguanas should pay attention to ventilation. If the tank is used, it is best to use the tank with ventilation holes, so as to ensure good ventilation. Green iguanas live in the Americas with high temperature and humidity, so higher humidity is good for their skin, but it is very difficult to maintain the high humidity of the cage if they are kept in captivity, because in such an environment, the food and excreta of green iguanas are very prone to bacteria. The bedding materials in the feeding cage should be easy to clean and relatively dry. Do not use some substances that are easy to be eaten by green iguanas. A food basin and water basin should be placed in the feeding cage to place the daily food needs of the green iguana. More than two thermohygrometers should be placed in the feeding cage, one in the sun and the other in other places. This is convenient to observe the temperature and humidity in different positions in the feeding cage, which can make the green iguana live more comfortable.
The most difficult thing to raise green iguanas is to maintain the temperature and humidity in the cage. It may not be controlled at the beginning of feeding, but after a long time, it will become experienced.
