Does anyone have any suggestions on how to put weight on a female water dragon? Shes in great shape, there is nothing wrong with her medically. she is a great eater, I have tried pinkies but witn no results. Can you help?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- try feeding her 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 if you can. {but only one at a time not all of the insects above}, look for Melissa Kaplan's "ig salad diet" in her Iguana Care FAQ you can find the FAQ at: http://www.anapsid.org, you may also be interested in viewing this page in order to select fruit and veggies with a good calcium to phosphorous ratio.
not experienced with WDs but if yours is eating good and still not gainning weight maybe you should consider have test done for internal parasites. good luck!
