Show us your EWD's

[Maccattack]

Can anybody suggest some foods I can feed my EWD that will help it grow faster? She's nearing 2 years of age but is only the size of a baby, so I need to bulk her up a bit. The guy I got her off thinks because he had her in with a few others she hasn't grown as big.

I feed lots of crux, every 2nd day a whole tub between 2. Once a fortnight they get a largish pinkie and I scatter mealies on the salad every now and again.. salad almost always on offer. Kale,broccoli,butternut,endive,squash and peas as a staple and offer fruits here and there..

They seem happy..

Any of you Members got any snaps of some big guys.. 4 or 5 years old?? I love to see the colours as the mature.

Very good... I'm looking forward to my lil fella getting a couple of years under his belt... I know that wild EWD are quite tolerable of humans & are often found in people's yards scavenging around...

I would think that a dragon of 4-5 years would be quite apt at interacting with its carer... I love these guys!!!!

Nice one Miss Be... Has she settled down much? My guy is going on 7 months old & has just started relaxing & trusting me in the last 3 weeks... Before that he was quite flighty & timid

I only have 2 live plants in there, the rest are fake plants, no idea what the live ones are, pinched them from around the pond in our garden.

They really suit your set up... I like the effect live plants have in enclosures... It makes quite a visual difference, Especially when you have real & fake together...

Thanks DeadlyDanny... Yeah he's quite settled and hasn't been flighty at all, he was handled quite alot by the breeder so I am assuming this helped. But I haven't "seen" him eat he is very shy when it comes to eating in front of us

Ok that's great... Sounds like he's got a good nature... Seems to be a common trend amongst water dragons not eating in front of people... My guy was the same until recently...

G'day, How many years would a EWD get out of an enclosure that size?

From the Size of most water dragons I've seen I'm thinking 2 years approx b4 moving him into an outdoor enclosure...
