Ive bougt a 2 1/2 year old iguana from my friend, ive had it for 3 days.It still hasnt deficated?

Question

Is this bad? how often are they supposed to p**p? im really worried about him/her =/ please help?

Answer 1

The iguana is stressed from the move.  It is likely it will not eat or p**p normally for a while.  You should try giving it a soak in water.

A normal and healthy iguana will normally defecate once a day, maybe every other day if not eating very much.

Answer 2

Answer 5

has it eaten? if not maybe that's the reason. it can b sick...perhaps the very reason ur friend gave it away

Answer 6

Iguanas typically p**p in water.  All iguanas should have a pool in their cage big enough to soak their whole bodies in...they need a lot of hydration and humidity.  Be sure to offer a complete balanced diet with correct vitamins.  Heat lamps and UVB lighting must also be correct for good health.  Here are a couple of excellent links

Answer 7

Iguanas usually deficate once every 3-4 weeks, everything seems to be fine with yours.

Answer 8

Don't worry, it may take a whole week before he will go #2! I had the same "problem" with my pacman frog when i got him, but it is just a reptiles metabolism. If you want warm water helps too. Just sit him in a bowl of water.

So, just keep feeding as normal and all!

Have fun!

Answer 9

well i used to have a tortoise and you could try soaking it in water?

idk if that helps but thats how turtles and tortoises p**p.

it may just be nervous.
