Best Answer

Iguanas are strictly vegetarian only eating fruits and vegetables. Information that they eat any type of bugs or crickets is outdated and they should not be consuming bugs. However, most Iguanas will eat anything. Some have even eaten light bulbs and trash off the floor. It's best if keeping a Iguana in your home to keep the floors very clean, preventing any Iguana stomach problems.

Iguanas are omnivores, meaning they are both herbivoresand carnivores. So they will eat plants and meat. Often this meat will come in the form of insects, typically for iguanas in the wild. Plants would be seeds, leaves, flowers, and the such.
