i think ive tried everything
ive tried mealworms super worms all they want to eat is crickets they will not eat from my hand but they will lay on my chest on the couch for an hour or so
im not sure what to do I dont want to starve them to make them eat other stuff . im pretty sure the petstore has something to do with it , they only feed crickets (cheap *******s lol) also im going to ask an off topic question in all your sigs you have 0.0.0 or 0.0.1 and the animal / name behind it whats does it all mean |

This is from Tricia's WD page,,,she is one of our mods and the best WD info out there.
http://www.triciaswaterdragon.com/diet.htm#food%20items Crickets, mealworms (normal size, jumbo and super), waxworms, and earthworms, grasshoppers, butterworms, locusts, some people try small feeder fish like goldfish, and you may also want to offer a little bit of finely shredded veggies and fruit ( if your dragon will eat veggies this should make up about 10% to 15% of their diet) ( if you're going to try feeding them veggies and fruit. The sigs are as follows: 0.1.2 (Leopard Geckos,Ball Pythons, Etc.) You've seen this used many times in member signatures and posts. Here you'll discover the meaning behind this stranger cipher and how to use it to let everyone know what reptiles you own. The "CODE" follows this pattern: X.X.X = (#) Males, (#) Females, (#) Unsexed/Unknown 1.2.6 Leopard geckos = (1) male, (2) Females, and (6) Unsexed/Unknown (Can be eggs,babies, or juveniles/adults) This system was developed as the standard sexing system for all animals. To add this to your signature block, go to the User CP and modify "signature", adding the necessary information.

Check out Tricias page,you have to remember they are still young, and even though now is the best time to introduce them to new food they arnt always very accepting of it lol. I had the most luck with getting them to accept mealies first, then waxies. Remember, when feeding wax worms only do so once or twice a week, and only 2 at a time, as they are very hing in fat.
best of luck! |

You should get 1 gram pinks, as the dragons always prefer them whole, Im not so sure if they will take a cut up pink the first time around, but good luck!! Now that you have whole prey in the diet it should make up for about 40-50% of their diets
insects at about 40-50% and veggies about 10% if your dragons will take veggies |
