How many live feedings a day for juvenile dragon?

[anenglish15]

Hello all!

Ive been doing some research today regarding schedules for bearded dragons and feedings. :study: Since we've gotten Lillie, I just would leave for work at about 7:30am and then her light would click on at 8am. However, I'm reading that I should maybe be waking her up more like 6:30, have her "wake up" for 30 minutes, feed her at 7am and then leave for the day.

Usually, I just put fresh greens in her tank in the morning and then my husband will feed her crickets when he gets home at about 4:00pm. Should I instead be feeding her crickets in the morning as well? And provide the fresh veggies? We're just trying to get a routine and what the best thing for her is. Also, we do mix in some phoenix and silk worms.

How strict are you all on your schedules? Do you feed them certain things every day? Like do you do crickets one day and worms the next? We don't have a schedule like that yet, but should we?

Thanks!!

Hi. He should be fed 2 to3x a day for as much as he'll eat in 15 mins. Their diet needs to be 80% protein and 20% salad then adult is the opposite. Yes offer fresh veggies everyday. Don't forget to dust feeders with calcium 5x a week one feeding a day and vitamins 2x a week. Warm up time for an hr then after the last meal two hr digestion time.
