What kind of lizards? Diurnal? Nocturnal? This will make the difference in you schedule.

Very few lizards are strict herbivores, but with mine they're allowed to graze all day. You can't overfeed a true herbivore. If you have an omnivore - It's up to you. You can offer the insects in the morning removing them before "lights out". Offer greens in the afternoon - and fruit only occasionally. You can offer insects and greens in the morning together - or offer the greens in the monring and insects in the afternoon.

They have no schedule in the wild. They eat whatever presents itself as an opportunity. Whatever is easy for you is basically how you schedule it. The only real rule is - diurnal needs all food (especially insects) removed for night - nocturnal removed in the morning.

There are many lizard species. Nocturnal species should be fed in the evening. Diurnal lizards should be fed in the morning. As far as what to feed them, that also depends on the species. Some only eat insects, others insects and vegetable matter, and others should ONLY have vegetable matter.

Depends on the lizard, most feed during the day so whenever is conveniant for you, but try and do it at the same time every day, they will get used to a routine.

i think lizards feed during the night. but for you, since its a pet you can choose either morning, afternoon or night depending on your convenience. just make sure that you feed it everyday. it will adjust with that routine.

for the food maybe you can alternate the type of food.
