Daily Iguana Diet Log

Sep 26-30, 2000

This period, unfortunately, was very random. The lizards were fed every day, or every other day, but the daily record keeping was not accomplished. The general diet for this time period generally consisted of amaranths, swiss chard, kohl rabi leaves and diced chunks, diced ogden melon, diced juvenile acorn squash, and any other tidbits I was able to find remaining in the garden. With the hard frosts, we eventually lost the amaranth leaves, but the swiss chard and cabbage related plants were still producing.
