Daily baby beardie schedule (help pls)

Hi,
I am new to this forum and plan on getting a baby beardie sometime soon. I made it my goal to learn as much about them as possible. I already know all the things to feed him, what lights to put in the tank, everything. However I am concerned about my schedule as I know baby’s need to be fed at least three times a day. I wake up aground 615 and get home some nights at 630 and some nights at 8. However i might be able to get someone to feed him for me in the middle of the day.
Any advice on what times to feed him?

Make sure your using a digital probe thermometer for basking temps and have a good UVB NO coils and the long tube fixture needs to be properly placed in the tank--- its not going to matter if these things are not correct he wont eat - those things I just mentioned are the MOST IMPORTANT things in the tank - he needs salads every morning Nutrition Content ignore the kale thing its a good staple feeder -- I would get some BSFL for the tops of his salads use as many as you want use them as lures to the bowl - they make a great compliment to the dubia roaches - I would get a bowl like this https://www.amazon.com/MACGOAL-Rept...uGQB&pd_rd_wg=tLkwE&ref_=pd_gw_ci_mcx_mr_hp_d
this bowl works good to keep the BSFL and the dubias in - feed your dragon before you leave w/ the BSFL in it and salad he is going to need another feeding around 12 or so that would be your dubias add them to the bowl -- how old is the baby? Sometimes a third feeding is in order - DO NOT DUST the BSFL but you will need to dust the dubias - if feeding another he needs to be fed at least 2-3 hrs before lights out -- he needs time to start to digest that last feeding --- ONLY DUST the dubias ONCE per feeding - calcium D3 5 x per week lightly coated and vitamins w/ beta carotene 2 x per week light coated

Sorry about that. Certain links seemed to have been truncated or messed up during the migration to the new system. :( I'm still working to identify those in the database and make bulk corrections where I can. @KarrieRee , Thanks for reposting it. :)

Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
