My green iguana is skinny, not gaining weight. What should I give her?

Question

Green iguana extremely skinny and not gaining weight. Is there anything I can give her. She has proper lighting/humidity, food, vitamins. I just don’t know what else to do for her. She was malnourished when we rescued her and does appear to have MBD. Pet's info: Reptile | Iguana | Female | unspayed

Submit a stool sample to your veterinarian to diagnose intestinal parasites. Consider a supplement such as Oxbow Critical Care or Fluker's Repta-Boost. Review her diet with your veterinarian to make sure it is appropriate, adequate and that Saphira isn't getting too much vitamin D3 which can be toxic in large quantities.
