i have heard that when a Chinese Water Dragon is an adult it will eat anoles and tree frogs. i was wondering if anyone had tried this. and if its a good way to feed occationally. also if they are used how long of an quarenteen period should be given?

Youi are looking at a very expensive way to feed the waterdragon. It also is not a good idea due to the possibilty of introducing disease and parasites into your dragon.
Stick with the standard fare.

I agree with merlin. They may munch on these in the wild but not here, it will cost too much and like merlin said could introduce parasites, we no nothing about and Byebye little Chinese Water Dragon----so sad! Sorry anyways!! haha I would stick with normal fare diets! Good luck!!

Feeder anoles maybe, but red eyes are 30 bucks each thats more than to feed a retic a pig. I still wouldnt trust it.

i didnt mean red eyed I ment green tree frogs at the pet shop near me they are only a few bucks.

The problem I see is you would have to have some kind of enclosure for the feeders and quarantine them I think. I'm not sure if parasites or diseases from other herps can be passed on through feeders but I'm not sure I would want to take the chance.

Absolutely! The parasites in the feeders will end up in your pet!

Reminds me of a guy I know that wants to get a bird eating spider, just to watch it eat birds, the cheapest of course being what, a $13 finch, not the brightest idea. Stick with the mice, there cheaper, not as much risk of passing on anything, and there's honestly no real benefit to eating a lizard for another lizard, the green tree frog maybe, but I doubt it. If you really just have to do it, i'd buy a cheap green tree frog, put it in a 10 gallon tank for like one maybe two months, feed it reguraly, but dont bother with anything fancy, just keep the humidity and temp right, give it a large water bowl, but shallow with Purified water, and some kind of plant or something to climb on. if after a month or two its okay, you should be about as okay as your gonna get, there's still alot of risk though. all in all, its a waste of time and money, instead why you find something to improve in your water dragons enclosure, all the time and money you'll save NOT feeding reptiles to him.
