n e one know how i can easily get him hooked on pinkies? hes ate 2 of them now but what i did was feed him his superworm than while he was chompin on that i kinda stuck the head of the pinkie in there than he just started mowing down on that... is there an easier way? many times he just shakes his head at it or what not...

Why switch a chinese water dragon to only pinkies? They are insect eaters primarily. Maybe you need to re-think this whole lizard keeping business.

i hate when people critisize ... i feed him a very wide variety of foods... i just want him to accept them easier ... forget i asked.

Your post didnt indicate that the pinkies were part of a varied and diverse diet. It reads as if you are trying to get him to switch to eating pinkies full time.

no one critisized you mate.

aaron and justin merely gave you their opinions.

as rob pointed out no where in your post did it mention a varied diet.imo it did read like you wanted your lizard on pinkies only.

please dont take it so personally we all come on here to chat and learn from each other.

i only work with snakes so im afraid i cannot offer you any advice.but i can vouch for the people who posted on your thread.they are both knowledgable and helpfull people.

i'm sure they will be able to help you if they have all the information required on any problems you may have.

cheers shaun
