Hi Diane
question 1, you can feed everyday no problem, make sure you supplement every other day
question 2, Collards greens aren't good as well as kale and spinach try to stay away from those.
Dandelion greens, Romaine, Escarole, Curly endive, Green leaf lettuce and Red leaf lettuce are the things to go with, any fruits and the turtle chow will make a great diet.
question 3, yes you can let him outside during the day as long as it's not above 90.
question about the water dish. Is the top of the water dish flush with the substrate?
and when you get the UVB light make sure its 18 to 24 inches away from the substrate.
