 Aviary?!!

can an small (one year old) iguana feel intimidated in a large enclosure? I keep mine in an avairy(no birds) 2m, by 2m, by 2m, but he also has a smaller cage inside with heating and lighting. Some days he doesnt feel like eating others he eats like a pig. He has also become more aggressive. I have had him for several months now!!
