A well-balanced water dragon diet consists of a variety of insects, including crickets, roaches, mealworms, waxworms and earthworms; frozen/thawed pinkie mice and small common goldfish. 10 to 15% of diet should include dark, leafy greens and fruits.
Always wash your hands before and after handling your reptile and/or habitat contents to help prevent the potential spread of diseases.
