[quote]SeaStar said: Personally, I believe if you start to feed a wild creature then you must continue to do so. For example, if you place a bird feeder out at the beginning of winter then you are obligated to do so throughout the winter as the birds have come to expect it. JMHO. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />
That being said check out this link regarding food for iguanas. Lettuce is not something they should have very often, if ever.
I read the list and it appears to be aimed at pampered pets. I fed a few lettuce leaves to an iguana living in a location with very little vegetation. It was a treat and I doubt it did any harm. Next time I'll take an apple (peeled, cored and chopped as per the list) and try that.
As for the bird feeders, I keep mine fully stocked all winter with seeds, nuts and peanut butter balls mixed with suet for any creature that may need something to eat when its -30 or below, and the ground is covered in snow and they can't find anything to eat.
