Check your temperatures ! The main reason for them not eating is their tank is too cold for them to digest their food properly. If the tank is at the correct temperature, then take it to a vet for a check-up !

I am terribly sorry that I have to break this news to you, but your iguana is most likely bulimic. This is because the other iguanas have been teasing it about its weight, and laughed when it was unable to fit into its prom dress. As a result of this teasing, the iguana has decided to starve itself in order to lose weight. Your iguana most likely was unable to overcome its love of food, and instead of starving itself, will instead gorge when you aren't looking, then vomit in a hidden place, often a public bathroom. As for what you can do to remedy this, I can only recommend that you sit down and have a good talk with your iguana, possibly paying for a personal counsellor. Other tyhan that, this is a personal demon your iguana will have to overcome. Good luck, and godspeed.

It's quite common for iguanas to temporarily stop eating, as well as many other reptiles. This adaptation helps them survive in the wild, where they might not be able to find food for an indefinite amount of time (especially in desert ecosystems, where they may only be able to eat a couple of times annually). Their metabolism is really slow, so they are able to survive for ages from one meal, which helps, when you live where an iguana lives.

Hope this helps!
