Is it ok for cats to eat iguanas?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Cats should not eat iguanas. While cats are carnivores and may naturally hunt small animals, including reptiles like iguanas, it is not safe for them to consume them. Iguanas can carry parasites and diseases that could harm the cat. Additionally, ingesting parts of an iguana, such as bones or tough skin, could lead to digestive issues or blockages in the cat. It's important to ensure that cats are provided with a balanced diet appropriate for their nutritional needs and to discourage hunting of wild animals.

What do you do when iguana lay their eggs?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The best thing you can do is - nothing! Anoles lay their eggs so that the pocket of air supplying the embryo with oxygen is facing upwards. If the egg is disturbed, the air pocket may deflate, drowning the growing embryo. All you have to do is keep a steady heat source.

How can you prevent wild iguanas from eating the portulaca in your yard?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Ive had this problem twice in recent years and have found two very different but equally effective methods of solving this frustrating problem. The first time i waited near the portulaca with my shotgun, and thus shot any iguanas that came near. you have to make sure to leave the dead iguanas to rot so as to warn other iguanas of the treatment they will get if they attempt to eat your portulaca. This proved highly effective, although did attract predatory animals and create a pungent aroma to the yard. This prompted me to use my second effective method when the iguanas eventualy returned. I set fire to my portulaca, making sure every bit was destroyed. This worked amazingly, and i now never have to worry about the iguanas eating my portulaca... I hope this helps and you manage to stop the iguanas eating your portulaca, i know how frustrating it can be!

What makes it possible for iguanas to live in the desert?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Actually, they usually don't. desert iguanas live in dry conditions, but even they need some humidity. most iguanas live in hot, humid tropical areas and in captivity their habitats should be similar to that!

Do unfertilized eggs of the iguana hatch?

User Avatar

If an egg is unfertilized, then an embryo cannot form.

Fertilized = an embryo can form.

UNfertilized = an embryo cannot form, because the male (or lack thereof) did not contribute DNA to create life.

Why can't the marine iguanas spend long periods of time playing and feeding in the ocean water?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Source: http://www.abc.net.au/nature/twoyears/filming2.htm Marine iguanas can't spend very long underwater because they're cold blooded animals. They spend maximum an hour feeding and then they must come out and lie on the rocks like slugs, soaking up the warming rays of the sun before sleeping for the night.

What is the average body temperature of an iguana?

User Avatar

Asked by Betsyg

Iguanas are exothermic, meaning they do not generate their own body heat. Like all reptiles and amphibians, the body temperature of an iguana depends entirely on the temperature of its surroundings. Pet iguanas must be provided with a "sunning spot" and a "cooling spot" so that they are able to adjust their body temperature on their own.

Where do iguanas find there food?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Iguanas need a variety in there diet which includes, Collard greens, escarole, dandelion greens, water cress, Mustard greens, endive, turnip greens, and Kale on an occasion. Kale is not to be feed daily it is hard for them to digest. That is the leafy part of the diet which should make up at least 65% of there diet. Fruits (10%) can include, figs (raw or dried), blackberries, strawberries, raspberries, grapes, mango's, melon, papaya, banana's, and apple. But again fruits should only make up 5-10% of there diet. You can also feed them raw green beans, parsnips, sweet potato, zucchini, yellow squash, okra (not much of this), snow peas, carrots, asparagus and red peppers (not much of these either, but they love the color red and it is a taste enhancer) On occasion you can give whole grains as a treat. Please do you research before you own an iguana they get very large and require daily maintenance. There are many homeless ones out there due to neglect so please choose you pets wisely!
