Answer
Hello Maeve, I am sorry for such a late reply

Bearded Dragons are better when it comes to handling.
Chinese Water Dragons should be fed pinky mice but I never have fed them to my water dragons and haven't had a problem.

Water dragons need about 6-15 crickets a day depending on size.

Be sure to research on their care, and know that Water Dragons require a lot of space minimum 4ft tall 4ft wide and 2ft deep enclosure. Bearded Dragons require about 45 gallon tank of space.
