alanmin4304 Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 One of the pet shop owners down here gave a mouse to the water dragon as a treat but got sick of all the customers going ew and ar while it sat there all day and sucked the juice out of it. Last treat for that fella. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingart Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 i think the mouse was too big for the WD don't stay in the mouth too long with a bigger dragon curry the mouse first for a fire breathing dragon or coat in brimstone for that extra burn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExotherMan Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 I've seen my waterdragons hunt mice numerous times...they never last long... completely destroy logs feeding on whatever was burrowed into them... they are good fisherman too... I don't know about birds, although there was one stray dove that entered my enclosure one day and never escaped although i couldnt tell who actually dealt to it...all i saw was a bluey dragging it away to its cave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navarre Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 moose released in dusky sound 1911 last one seen alive shot by percy lyes of hokitika in 1950s many reports since then but no evidence of anything living presumed extinct just like green iggies and monitors send the WD's down there to flush them out maybe?

Charlie Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 just a mild work of caution, wild mouse can carry disease or may have recently consumed poision. If so it could be harmful to your dragons... id say just for safty best to pest proof your inclousure. However it would have been so cool to see!!!

Have you go a spare 40 square meters of stainless flyscreen mesh i could borrow? young mice squeze through the galvie hex mesh curently in use.

livingart Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 funny to find the dried mummy that was a mouse that squeezed in had a feed and got stuck squeezing back out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

livingart Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 i don't think that was sarcastic as i too would like 40 meters of that mesh price would be approximately $2,000 it can be prohibitive to completely pest proof an outdoor pen and provide the most natural home for water dragons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 Cost me $160 to buy one square metre of stainless steel mesh (minimum allowable purchase) when building a terrarium so I wouldn't want to think about the cost of an outsid enclosure of any size. We have built a small one which the beardies go into on good warm days to get a bit of sun and it is up on legs---a lot cheaper. They imediately go and hide in the shade but that is another issue.

ExotherMan Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 it can be prohibitive to completely pest proof an outdoor pen and provide the most natural home for water dragons just a mild word of caution, wild mice can carry disease or may have recently consumed poison... i find trying to reduce attractants more practical. The neighbourhood cats help too, which is why my enclosure was built more to withstand them... :roll: At any rate any mice my lizards have had weren't wild And the disease vector risk etc is often way overexaggerated, always worth considering don't get me wrong, but as far as a disease vector is concerned, the many birds that would bypass and deficate as they go in any given day, a prowling cat, or even the cloud of dust caused by a neighbour mowing their lawns could just as easily and probably more likely cause such harm... more to the point the damn things just stink! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sneaky2 Posted January 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 no well your post was FULL of sarcasim... well mayby if you cant afford to pet proof your outside cage then mayby you shouldnt have them outdoors? Fairly well pet proof,just the occasional pest(your not related by any chance) :roll: small wild moose...the bigger ones get stuck with there antlers.
