Can you clip your iguanas nails?

Presumably you're talking about a 'pet' hedgehog... Unless you're REALLY confident you can do it without harming the animal - the best solution would be to let a vet do it ! You can easily injure a struggling animal if you're not confident enough to do it. The easiest way to keep its nails in check - would be to provide some large pieces of slate in its enclosure. Slate is abrasive, and will file the animals nails as it walks.

What does a iguana need for survival?

they need many things

1.) proper lighting: iggs need both UVA and UVB light. I recommend the Powersun lights made by ZooMed. It needs to be within a certain distance from the basking spot of the igg (within 18in from igg's basking spot)

2.) proper heating: there should be a range of temp for the igg. the basking spot should be about 95-105 degrees Fahrenheit. there should also be areas that are about 70 degrees. Iggs need a body temp of 85 deg to properly digest their food.

3.) proper diet: there are many awesome references for this online i suggest greenigsociety.org for a good food list. Remember never feed animal protein to igs, and lettuce is not good for them either, because it is mostly water with little nutritional value. there is a calcium:phosphorous ratio that should be kept ( i believe it is 2:1, but there is a little disagreement on that point).

4.) humidity: igs naturally live in tropical regions, so they need high humidity. mist them with water and bathe them daily (they can be potty trained to go in the tub when bathed)

5.) clean habitat: enough said with that I think. When cleaning where they live, be sure to use pet safe products. I use healthy habitat made by natural chemistry. Having a clean environment will help to keep them healthy.

6.) Space: your ig should have sufficient space. there should be areas for them to climb, hide, bask, eat, drink, and most importantly turn around when they need to. (my ig has an open enclosure, so I dont worry much about space, but space IS important)

there are other things you will find that your ig needs, but that varies from ig to ig...good luck :)

What does an iguana eat?

Iguana's are Herbivores. They eat dark, leafy green vegetables, such as, collard greens, mustard greens, parsley, dandelion greens, escarole, spinach, and kale. Iceberg lettuce should be avoided as it offers no nutritional value and iguanas can become hooked on it, refusing to eat other foods. Other vegetables that are good to offer include green beans, green peppers, frozen mixed vegetables, squash, and fruits, such as, bananas, apples, mangos, papaya. Iguana's eat flowers....pretty much all squash....dark greens.....wide variety of fruit.
Mostly algae.
