Sub Adult/ Adult Feeding Schedules? Feedback would be great!

Ok so Scarlett is a little over 7 months now and her eating habits are beginning to change.. We give her a nice big salad in the morning and put her worms in her bowl.. She usually eats the salad without a problem and will eat a few worms and then she is done for the day.. She doesn't eat in the evenings anymore.. She is still growing like a weed though.. I want to make sure she is getting enough calcium b/c she refuses to eat her salad if we put powder on it.. I've been feeding her supers and sprinkling them but she doesn't eat very many.. I do give her horns and butters throughout the week as an occasional treat.. I'm just trying to figure out a new routine for her seeing as how her eating habits are changing.. She is definitely eating more veggies than live food.. Would it be ok to put her salad in her viv in the morning and then give her the worms in the evening when I got home from work? What are some feeding routines you use? Any suggestions?

I would guess this is what 90% of beardie owners do. As long as they have a couple hours or so of basking time after they eat, they should be fine.

Regarding the calcium, when mine stopped eating the feeders everyday, and sometimes every 2 days, I got worried about them getting their calcium. So I bought the liquid calcium, and now I now exactly how much they get and that they got it.. plus liquid calcium is absorbed so much better than the powdered.. Just a suggestion for when your beardie gets older. Especially now that my 1 year old is on his I don't want to eat kick. And eats feeders maybe once a week if that!
