I'm sorry but iguana's also need more then scrambled eggs cooked petatoes and baby food..
What vet did you take him to. Most normal vets dont know enough about reptiles and try treathment and medications they normally use for mamals...

My red wont eat the tegu food either. But our B&W seems to like it. I think its just the same as with humans; Some like the big mac others like the big tasty
