Animal protein has previously been advised but until proven otherwise it appears best to forego non-plant food sources. It seems that a varied vegetable and fruit diet with added calcium and access to sunlight allows normal growth in iguanas. Time of feeding may be important since free-ranging iguanas bask before eating so it may be better to feed in the late morning.

Ground iguanas, the prehensile-tailed skink, spiny-tailed iguanas, and the chuckawalla generally do well with iguana husbandry techniques.

Iguanas will eat leafy greens, vegetables, flowers and fruit that are grated and chopped to a size appropriate to the size and age of the iguana.
