You are getting a wide variety of answers, most of which are wrong… check out http://www.anapsid.com for more information. Variety is important, but some good staple items include collard greens, mustard greens, endive, escarole, bok choy, dandelion greens, squash, green beans, carrots, papaya, fig, etc… NO iceberg lettuce, spinach, or if I remember correctly broccoli. It's important to dust the food with a calcium supplement 1-2 times a week, especially for growing iguanas, and a UVB light is vital for vit. d3/calcium production/absorption.

As far as crickets go, most of the world's "iguana gurus" are taking the stance that crickets are not necessary for iguanas at any age, and that they can cause serious problems in older ones… My view is that while they aren't really necessary, they won't hurt anything if used SPARINGLY… Generally it's not recommended for igs more than a year old.
