Re: Introduction Of The Water Dragons.
so after a year they say water dragons will wean their diet down... Not for this guy.
He cranks 25-30 crickets, and 3-4 nightcrawlers daily.

Re: Introduction Of The Water Dragons.
I read it somewhere on tricias site I think. Anywho, this is her diet sheet. I know its a rough guide, but just another reason why I think her site is bogus.
The diet of Chinese water dragons (lizard, insect, cricket, meal worm, earthworm, pinkie, fuzzie, fish, vitamin, mineral, calcium)

Mine are pigs! Mine won't eat live fish but they love shrimp. They'll eat any bug I throw in, except those beetles that superworms turn into (I haven't found anything that eats those). Also, I feed them hopper mice. They love mice the best.

Re: Introduction Of The Water Dragons.
yeah, I don't think her diets are accurate.
I'd love to see your dragons and setup, wildside.
My guys loves fish, he goes crazy, here is a video lol
Water Dragon, Banana's For Fish. - YouTube
I've stopped feeding superworms to all my animals, they're not really beneficial,
The monitors get rats, nightcrawlers and fish. THe dragons get crickets, nightcrawlers, fish, and pinky rats.
Thats about it for now, I'm trying to find a good source for shrimp, snails etcs.

Best source for shrimp is the grocery store 
My setup is nothing fancy. Just a 125 gal tank with two perches and a big water dish. I don't post many pics of them because they have issues from previous owners. I kinda "rescued" them, but I don't like to wave the "I rescued a herp" flag because I didn't really know what I was doing when I took them on. I've gotten two successful clutches out of them though. Fresh hatched baby cwd's are the cutest critters ever. I'll post a few pics after while or tomorrow.

You will want to watch very very very closely when it comes time to lay eggs. The males stay on top of them and then try to eat the eggs.
BTW not sure if you know but their bite, kills! Rayden got a hold of me one day and it was like having a tiny pit bull jerking on my hand.

I've only been bitten by my adult out of feeding response, It was a stinger.
I caught a few latches from my monitors, and its certainly not fun lol.
I have yet to post my adult enclosure on this forum I think, But I have a monster tank in the works lol
7' long, 7' tall, and 3' deep. I'll be working on it this weekend, maybe I'll post it up...
