Hi, I am getting my first ever bearded dragon in about a week, and was wondering if this would be an appropriate feeding schedule. My new beardie, Norbert, is still a baby, about 5" or so. Here is a general idea of what his feeding schedule might be (with variation of course).
8:30* am- lights on
9:30 am- put in a salad bowl: Collard greens, Escarole, and Butternut Squash*
10:30 am- put in bowl of 10-20 dubia nymphs
2:00 pm- let him eat crickets for 10-15 mins
7:00 pm- maybe offer a few dubia or crickets
8:30 pm- lights off
*On school days I'd turn on lights earlier
**Offer a treat like raspberries or mango once or twice a week
Any advice or critique is appreciated, thanks!

You can get a light timer for about 5-10$ I highly recommend it.
I might move his last feeding up a hour or so so he has time to bask after but otherwise it sounds fine :)

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
