Answer
Hey Michael,

Yes water dragons will eat mealy's and super worms,commercially raised earth worms for sure,and crickets make sure you use a vitiman and mineral supplement like reptical to powder your dragons food, tank should be at 8o to 85 degrees with a basking area of 88-90 and 73-78 at night light source to provide uva and or uvb (any good flourecent reptile bulb) with 114 hrs of day lite use a timer and then for winter season you can drop it to 8-10hrs  oh and there is know real way to keep them from gettin out of the dish butt if you want you can drop one at a time in as fast as your drago will eat them.
