 | | Like their parents, hatchling rock iguanas are primarily vegetarian, but will also consume a variety of other food types with a higher percentage of animal protein (insects, etc.), to enable a faster growth rate. |
 | | Rock iguanas are primarily herbivorous (leaf eating), feeding mostly on leaves, flowers, and fruits. |
 | | In the Barbados Wildlife Reserve's captive Cuban rock iguana colony, males mate, or attempt to mate, with several different females during the mating period, and egg-laying is expected to take place during the month of December (at the time of year in Barbados which corresponds to the end of the rainy season). |
