 How much food

How many crickets or super worms does every one feed their adult water dragon a day or every other? I already order 1,000 crickets every other month.

I feed my adult male as much as he’ll eat. Usually 10-12 full size crix and maybe 4-6 large superworms. He eats twice a day if he wants. Sometimes he’ll refuse the evening "feed" or greatly reduce his morning’s consumption. The girls eat much less than him! I probably use 100 crickets twice a week. It seems like 1/4 of those are running around my house-LOL! That’s for 3 dragons all about 22-24 months old.

Unlike some animals, like dogs, wd’s will stop eating or refuse food when they are full. Feed them as much as they like and alternate the crickets with mealworms, live goldfish and earthworms. My wd’s love earthworms that I collect on the land of a nearby organic farm -- they don’t use pesticides, herbicides or any chemicals. I also keep my own colonies of crickets and mealworms -- they are incredibly easy to maintain and the little bit of bother saves me a lot of money (I’ve got a fairly large menagerie).

Oh yeah, don’t leave uneaten food with your buddies. Crickets will munch on them and dead insects and earthworms will create a smell.
