Answer 1

Do you know of another name for this Candian Leaf??? The only thing I found was

Answer 3

I can't seem to pin down what Canadian Leafs are, so I can't really answer your question.  However, what iguanas need is a mix of leafy greens (never any sort of lettuce), vegetables and fruits every day.  evanescence_fr3ak has already covered the best sites regarding an iguana's needed diet so anything I could add would simply be a re-post.

Answer 4

Canadian leafs are Maple leafs. Not healthy for iguanas. When feeding iguanas think tropical.  Mine loves hibiscus.  Only red ones.  I tasted them and they have a spicy pepper taste.  We have a big bush and it blooms constantly here in So. Texas.  We give it to him like a treat because he would eat them and nothing else.  He also favors mango's, blue berries and green beans.  Ice burg lettuce has no nutritional value for iguanas or people for that matter.
