Oxalates and phytates. Many foods contain oxalates and phytates. It has been proven that they sometimes bind to calcium, inhibiting it from being properly used by the body. It's not a fact that this is true in iguanas, but better safe than sorry is always a good practice in iguana care. Below is a list of foods that contain oxalates or phytates and should only be fed occasionally.
Foods that contain oxalates or phytates to be fed only on occasion and in moderation.

Spinach, beets, beet greens, swiss chard, dock, sorrel, whole grains, celery stalk, kale, carrot tops.

What Not To Feed
While it is important to know the correct foods to feed your iguana, it is just as important to know what things NOT to feed, and WHY. The following lists some of the most common 'no-nos' in iguana diets.

1. Animal protein of ANY kind - cat or dog food, meat, cheese, insects, money biscuits, etc. Iguanas are obligate herbivores. Their bodies physically cannot process animal proteins. Feeding animal proteins puts a huge strain on the kidneys and liver and lead to an early death from kidney or liver failure.

2. Spinach and parsley. Yes, they are dark leafy greens, I know. But, they are also very high in oxalates. Oxalates bind the calcium your iguana needs for strong bones. Avoid feeding spinach and parsley. 3. Kale and Broccoli - these are two major goitrogens that can lead to thyroid problems if fed too much. A little bit in moderation is OK, but they should not be a staple.

4. Tofu - this is another 'only in moderation' food. A little bit as a treat once in a while won't hurt, but it is often high in fat and too much is not good for igs.

5. Lettuce - No lettuce. I don't care if it's iceberg, romaine, red leaf or green leaf. Lettuces have virtually no nutritional value whatsoever. They are simply water and fiber.
