reposting to see if anyone knows anything!
an iguana has been in my front yard for about a week, moves a few feet every day. mostly brown/tan, (sometimes a bit more green like in these photos) quite thin, and lethargic. no visible injuries. except i’m not sure if it’s front arms are supposed to be folded over all the time like they are in these photos? looked up things they can eat and left stuff out for it but it won’t eat anything.
the first couple days it was out basking in the sun and much more feisty (tried to tail whip me when i brought it food!😂) so i figured it was just a little hungry or found a good sunning spot and left it alone with some greens.
now it spends most of its time hiding in a bush. at first i thought it was because it was rainy, but it’s very hot and sunny now and it’s still in the bush most of the time. won’t eat. looks thinner. still feisty at times so i try not to bother it too much because i figure that’s a good sign. but usually when i check on it, it just kind of cocks its head.
what can i do??!! ANY advice is appreciated!
i live in miami where iguanas are considered an invasive species so i dont think i can call any animal services to help. everything i find online is pest control :( is there anyone i can call that wont euthanize her, or anything i can do to help????
