Check the 'What to Feed' and 'What not to Feed' lists at the top of this board. It'll tell you what you can feed and how often :-)

I prefer to feed in the morning, that way they have all day to bask/digest/work it off.

Keep the light on during the day...turn it off at night. You can buy a timer for the light so it turns on/off automatically.
