depending on how big it is ...pinkie mice ...super worms are no problem ...meal worms( less than more)...definately earth worms (more protien).....Phoenix worms (really small but full of calcium)...fish small silver/gold...wax worms ( all fat just once in awhile)... roaches.......veggies and fruit if you are lucky
Mango
rasberries
bannanas
apples...really mashed up
baby food butternut squash and fruit
There is more I forget all of them ....

I wouldn’t put a number on how many crickets you feed, I found that out... I used to feed about 6-8 a day and Angus is a little underweight and had to knock it up a few crickets... you should be feeding him as much as he can eat, usually he will stop when he is full. If after the 5-8 crix he is still hungry then give him some more. Some dragons I have heard of eating over 15 in a sitting.
And Cphill58 gave some good food item choices and water dragons thrive on variety. They like waxworms but they really are just a treat due to the high fat content.
Yep, thinks thats about it.

My wd eats 10-15 superworms a day. I give him calcium on sun tues and thurs and his multi vit on sunday. He gets one fuzzy, pinky or sm mouse 1 day a wk and if it is the sm mouse, i dont feed him the next day... I skip one. He also eats apple slices cut very small about the thickness and length of a superworm.

Sounds pretty normal, mine can eat anywhere from 5-12 crickets a day, I’ll add a wax worm or two every now and then, and does not eat nor sniff at the fruit and veggies. As it just so happen today I was able to get butter worms, Giants and silk worms and phoenix worms , so tomorrow will be a treat day, but wow what a PITA to get, and costly with the price of gas added in, but yea I’ll feed him as many critters as he wants. Be nice if he’d eat Veggies, but as I found out, it’s not in their nature till later in life then it will be of limited interests.
