Yes, but only as about 30 to 40% of their diet, maximum. Some water dragons aren't that fond of veggies. Refer to iguana salad recipes to prepare proper vegetable food for water dragons. Many of the vegetables humans like most are not good choices for reptiles.

Water dragons are omnivores, but they eat mostly animal matter, and should be fed live insects, baby mice (frozen and thawed out is fine), nightcrawler worms, and strips of tilapia fish (fresh is best, freezing creates thiaminase). Do not rely on just one type of food--variety is essential for health. Food should be lightly dusted with calcium powder.

Hatchling water dragons are unlikely to eat food that isn't moving. Once they are a year old, they begin to become more adventurous about their food, and it's a good time to start offering more vegetable foods and pre-killed foods.
