Dragon Mum

Hi there, Wonder if anyone can help me. My son has returned from living with at his father's with a juvenile Australian Water Dragon. He has had him from a hatchling. He is now around 10 months old. We have him in a large terrarium with over half as a filtered swimming pool (with a couple of gold fish), climbing logs and a basking rock (heated by one of the lights). He has UVA and UVB lights. The temp is around 27 - 29 degrees. The substrate is potting mix with some live plants and rocks to climb into the pool etc. His diet is almost wholly meal worms. We have been out and caught flies and other bugs for him to hunt in his environment but he does not eat any greens or fruits (once I tricked him into eating a piece of banana, and he ate it, realised it was not a meal worm and gave me the filthiest look and refused anymore worms). We do provide meal worms in a feeding tray which also has the calcium powder and we have the Lizard Food here, but he just will not eat that at all... I don't know much about these animals but am trying to research as much as poss as while my son has lost interest, I have grown quite fond of the chap. My problem is, he is now not eating at all and appears quite lethargic and depressed. My son seems to think AWD can do this from time to time but I don't think this feels right. Is there anyone who can advise on things I can do or check? I am scared I am going to wake up one day to him dead!

Hi everyone. My son went and stayed with his father for a few months and returned home the proud owner of an Australian Water Dragon. Now he is loosing interest and I am not even sure knows really how to care for it (he assures me he does!) I am concerned for the little guy. He is still a juvenile and he shares his terrarium with a couple of gold fish which are in his swimming pond. Recently he has stopped eating (my son only feeds him meal worms). I see from your posts there should be a variety of foods. We are constantly catching other bugs and trying to add some puha (dandelion) and banana, lettuce etc....but he did not want any of it. Now he also hardly moves either. The enclosure sits at around 28-30 degrees. There are UVA and UVB lights, and a flat rock for him to bask under which ever is the light that kicks out the heat. The substrate is potting mix with some live plants and the mealworms are in a dish in the enclosure with calcium powder. We have the lizard food with vitamins etc, but he does not eat that at all. There are logs and such for him to climb on which he used to do a lot, but now not at all. Can anyone offer any advice for us to care for him? I have grown quite attached and would really love to know what I can do for him.
