 WHAT CAN I MAKE FOR MY MHD TO DRINK OUT OF

I just bought my MHD from a reptile show, and I read that they only drink from moving or flowing water, what can I make so that my mhd will drink water until I can get a waterfall?Thank you in advance to all that answer.

You can just put an airstone in the water to make it bubble and have movement. If you’ve kept fish you’ll know what that is, if not you get a small air pump from the aquarium section and the tubing and an airstone, and just put it in the water bowl. And make sure you have a bowl large enough for your dragon to soak in! I actually don’t have a waterfall for my five MHD’s, I use a small cat litter pan (brand new and never used by cats of course!) with an airstone in it. They love it!

Untill you get the set up that you want you can put a water dish (big enough for it to get into) in the cage and mist. Make sure the mist hits the water as well as around the dragon. It should drink off of the leaves or glass and it might jump into the bowl when it sees the water move. It might also visit the bowl even though the water is not moving but always best to have moving water.

I would also advise not getting a waterfall since they get clogged very often and it gets very tiering cleaning it all the time. I think the air pump is deffinatley the way to go.
