Iguana STILL not pooing daily!!!

[martindean30]

Im still worried about my iguana not pooing, it did do one last Friday, but ever since its just sat on the floor of the viv. Ive phoned my local pet shop up and he said it could just be absorbing the food as it may not of been fed correctly by the people who had it before me. Could this be true??? As they did keep it in a small viv for its size plus I dont think the viv is hot enough as its only hitting 90F MAXIMUM in its basking area. Could it be using the food as energy as its not getting enougth heat??? Please help!!!!!!

On 1 of the posts he was feeding it mainly on watercress,so no wonder its not pooing,martin you should seriously think about getting rid of this iggy,cos by the sounds of it (on what iv read on the other posts uve started) its out of your league and you are not capable of looking after this iggy correctly,to many questions,but your obviously not listening and still havnt done any reseach sorry martin nothing personal,your just not ready for an iguana and its the animal alot of us are feeling for

martin i ve told you 4times now take your iggy to the vets, i ve been telling you this for the past 2weeks. Your not listening to advice being given..therefore you are showing your lack of compitence in reptile care.

I AM GOING VETS AT 6pm TODAY!!!!!! What else can I do??? Even tho its only a 10 min appointment ive got!

[reticmadness79]

you need to ask for a full examination including xrays and bloods also have you got any samples of excrement at all if so take it with you and get it checked cos something is not rite

[kimmie86]

as retic said ask for everything, you will have to pay but thats the cost of having reptiles...

i agree with retic get him to the vets also check the temps and make sure he got clean water every day the vets will cost but worth it in the long run as animal are priceless
