[waterdragonguy69]

hey guys and girls i know this is a very silly question but do eastern water dragons like to play? because my eastern water dragon runs around the tank and likes to run and jump into the water bowl and jumping from his branch and being silly. any answers and what i can do?

Does a one legged duck swim in a circle?

Answer is yes and the advice is (a) enjoy and (b) dont forget to change your setup around. They love new toys and experiences.

We've got the bhp hooked on a new swing that inverts when his weight is on the central part. 2 weeks in he still hasn't solved it but he's on it all the time!



Here he is studying the problem from his pond

oh ok what can i put in his tank for him to enjoy it more or have more fun?

oh and how old can my water dragon be before i can start feeding him pinkys?

Branches (propped up or suspended from the celing.) anything overhanging water will be appreciated, tunnels, hollow wood, limestone, etc,
I've never kept a WD but I've watched a lot in the bush. Just think about where they live really.
No idea on the feeding regime.

They are beautiful lizards cobber, make sure you both enjoy it!
