IGUANA RECIPE!!!!


#1 - VERY IMPORTANT!! You will need to add brewer's yeast after thawing and before feeding
this to your iguana (this is in addition to the regular calcium & vitamin supplements!). Freezing
destroys many of the B vitamins in the food & the brewer's yeast helps to replace them.
#2 - You will also need a large container reserved STRICTLY for Iguana food use ONLY!! (I used a
RubberMaid recycling size container which worked well for me.)
#3 - You will also need a lot of gallon size Ziploc type freezer bags.
Using this recipe has worked out very well for me... since I rarely had the time to chop things up on a
daily basis... so, I made a huge batch of food every few months & then I only needed to spend one
day cutting everything up.... then feeding time is simply a matter of breaking off a frozen chunk of
food, defrosting it & adding the supplements.
Other menu tips:
#1 - Make sure to chop everything up as small as possible - don't make it possible for your green
beast to only pick out it's favorites. My favorite appliance for this was is a Salad Shooter... it's a lot
neater than the food processor, everything comes out a uniform size & you don't need to keep
cleaning out that stupid little cup!
#2 - When packaging the food, make sure when you fill the bag you flatten it out to about a one inch
depth - any thicker & you'll need a sledgehammer or a chisel when it's feeding time! Flattening the
bag out also helps to conserve freezer space & keeps it all neatly stacked.
Okay... now that I've annoyed you enough with all the warnings & tips & junk..... here's the recipe!
