Majority of people suggest a staple diet of G2 Rodent pellets with a piece of carrot small enough to be consumed within 2 days weekly for moisture

They certainly don't require a water bowl - give them some carrots and some rodent pellets and they will get everything they need from it...

...it is also not a great idea to rely on them eating cardboard as a staple diet, as suggested earlier - as far as I am aware cardboard isn't known for it's nutritional value - and as such, your lizards will be eating Woodies with very little nutritional value...

Cardboard has the same nutritional value as a McDonalds burger, only no where near as many preservatives.
I give mine vegies and a dog biscuit.

My woodies have access to dog biscuits and carrots all the time, the biscuits r replaced when they run out and the carrots replaced every second day.
