Yes, they can, but peas should only comprise a very small part of their diet, as peas are high in protein. They should be fed raw as part of a complex, balanced diet made up mostly of greens (no lettuce, cabbage, or spinich). Iguanas are herbivores, and should not be given animal-based foods at all.
Complete iguana diets can be found online in several places, and I have included a link to one. Proper diet is absolutely crucial to the health of a green iguana, which can be a challenging animal to keep in captivity.
A green iguana WILL eat a large number of foods that are very bad for it, so you should never feed your iguana things just because he seems to like them. Many green iguanas have died of kidney failure after eating dog food too many times.
They can eat carrots, but it is only recommended as an occasional addition to their diet. Do not feed them the leaves, however, as they contain oxylates, which may lead to a calcium deficiency.
Older iguanas eat approximately ninety percent (90%) vegetable foods and should be fed two to three times weekly.Dandelions (flowers and leaves), clover, rose petals, and flowers of hibiscus, carnation and nasturtium can also be offered. Be careful that these have not been sprayed with insecticide. I have heard reports of two iguanas becoming very ill after eating hibiscus flowers. It was not known if insecticides were involved. Fresh fruit (bananas, berries, apples, peaches, Pears, and plums) can occasionally be included in the diet.
Yes, but on rare occasion and should be cooked thoroughly and finely chopped. it's high in sugar and wouldn't be found in their native habitat, so I would avoid feeding an iguana corn more than once a week.
No, believe it or not, the iguana is a herbivore. It doesn't eat meat, only plant material.
