Hey everybody whats up? i have always been a pet lover.. but im new to reptiles I bought a water dragon for my little bro but I take care of it I got it about 2 days ago at a local petco I bought all the accessories.. i bought a dozen crickets and I threw all of them inside is that good.? i also cut some apples and oranges up and put it in a bowl I dont think my water dragon witch I named dragonite ate any but the crickets were all over it so im guessing that is good for when my dragonite eats them? my dragon is still skittish when I try to hold him but now I read that u have to give him time.. i am looking forward to my dragonite to grow.. i will post up some pics soon .. any advice..? feedback is appreciated..

Hey and welcome to HC !

I will find a lot of help and support here!
Make sure that u read the care sheet above.

In regards to your chinese water dragon it will take some time til he/she get used to the new owner and the new environment, it took mine about 2 weeks till she started eating well!

Also don't throw a lot of crickets at once in the cage because if he/she does not eat them all they will start to try to nibble and even bite on your WD.

You could also try to get some mealworms dragons love them.

hmm... what else

make sure you maintain a proper humidity level in the enclosure and mist the cage regularly.

and the most important provide optimal lighting and temperature!!! Get get a UVA and UVB lights in your local pet store...


Igor.
