1: What is the best substrate to use for Waterdragons?
2: How often should I supplement my Waterdragons food with vitamins and/or calcium?
3: Is it possible to put crickets in a small dish so they can't jump out and the Waterdragon can go there and catch them?

>>1: What is the best substrate to use for Waterdragons?

I use a mixture of bed a beast and spagnum moss in one cage and top soil and sand in the other. I use the top soil and sand in suz cage because he is much smaller and still eats crickets and can get a mouth full of moss if not careful. IMO anything that holds in humidity and isn't full of huge wood chunks is ok for a water dragon.

>>2: How often should I supplement my Waterdragons food with vitamins and/or calcium?

i supplement my dragons meals every two feedings... so twice a week for the little one.. and once a week for my older dragons.

>>3: Is it possible to put crickets in a small dish so they can't jump out and the Waterdragon can go there and catch them?
yep.

What kind of bowl can you use to keep crickets in? I've been racking my brain to think of one. Thanks
