2.0 out of 5 stars This manual is out of date; nutrition info is incorrect., April 13, 1998

Ann-Elizabeth Nash "Colorado Reptile Humane S... (Longmont, CO) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Green Iguana Manual (Paperback)

The Green Iguana Manual by Philippe De Vosjoli is often recommended by pet owners and veterinarians. However, the nutritional information is out of date. Animal protein in any amount is no longer recommended in iguana diets, including diets for juveniles. Following this manual for nutrition information could mean your iguana ends up with kidney and/or liver failure and a shortened lifespan. Please see the 1996 edition of Reptile Medicine and Surgery for iguana diet information.

1.0 out of 5 stars THIS BOOKS INFORMATION CAN HARM YOUR IGUANA!, June 22, 2005

A Kid's Review

This review is from: The Green Iguana Manual (Paperback)

I do not recomend this book to any iguana owner. This book is by far the worst iguana book I have seen yet. The nutrition section is out of date. It says to feed your iguana meat!?!, and commercial iguana foods! Iguanas are strict herbivores and with this information, it can cause kidney failure! Im only 13 and i know better than to listen to this book, I honestly think you should turn to Green iguana, the ultimate owners manual, by James W. Hatfield for better results.
With all do respect
