I have found feeding my water dragons live food annoying because the food just runs/jumps absolutely everywhere. I was wondering if there is anything i can do t o prevent this from happening during feeding time. What is everyones secret?

One lazy way I feed mine sometimes is to just put the dragon in the food container instead of the other way around. This will only work with a big tub though, not a chinese-food container of crickets.

For my beardie bubs i would teflon a 1 inch strip along the sides so the roaches couldnt escape(teflon above what the dragons could reach).
I also had a ........a...............thing.............(see photo) that you put the roaches in and they exit the hole one by one and get munched on.
I also sometimes just let a few roaches in and watied till they got munched and then a few more and so on.

You can get stainless steel bowls with cuved sides that prevents crickets from getting out of the dish.

Fridge for 5-10mins is the easiest way - if you are feeding roaches then they can withstand a lot more cold and survive when warmed up, crickets are a little more sensitive...easy way with crickets is to squeeze a back leg as you put them in, it will drop off...
