Thoughts on feeding daily

[naich]

i am aware that for an adult protien 2 to three times a week all they can eat in 10 mins or so is customary. But what if you were to feed them daily just with smaller amounts. for example...

Monday-50 small roaches
Tuesday-nothing
Wendsday-20 silkworms
Thursday-nothing
Friday- 50 small roaches
saterday- nothing
Sunday-nothing
saladas made daily...

But what if you did this instead
Monday-20 roaches
Tuesday-20 raoches
wendsday- 10 silkworms
thursday- 10 silkworms
Friday-20 roaches
saterday- 20 roaches
sunday-20 roaches

now this is a 4 year old male that 24 inches, he eats alot. (amounts of roaches/crix/supers/silks/ect.. can vary) would it be better for their smaller bodies to eat less and more often than alot and everyother day or so? has anyone ever tried this, just curious?

I feed greens daily and protein every other to every 3 days or so depending on the dragon.

I feed mine fresh Greens and a little live food everyday. A few crickets/worms/locusts each per day depending on whst I have bought. I trie to keep it varied for them as you know even we get fed up with the same thing all the time so they must too. Everyone has different ways of feeding tho, I do it this way as all mine were very underweight and not fed properly when we got them so it is just a routine we got into to build them back up and as we have 6 of different ages (3 years to 10months) the younger ones still need it everyday anyway and the older ones just go crazy when they see the live food coming out it wouldnt be fair on them
This is just my own routine, you will soon develop your own.

My boy gets greens daily, treats once a week like blueberries or other fruit and protein in small amounts every day. He seems to be doing just fine and is happy and healthy. I think they say only feed protein every so often because people tend to over feed their bearded dragons.

Greens daily, protien every other day. Calcium & vitamins 3 times a week.
