Not real sure what you mean by "Day" But, the lights should be on this time of year for 14 hours. I do 6:30 am to 8:30 pm.

This is a great nutrition link for Bearded Dragons.

As you can see, Cilantro is high in Vitamin A so I wouldn't feed it any more than once a week at most.

Parsley in my book is a never feed. Too much Vitamin A and way too much oxilates.

I rarely feed carrots also because of the Vitamin A.

My staple greens are Collard, Turnip, Dandelion, Mustard, and escarole. I occasionally offer Basil, Carrot Greens, Romaine, and Endive.

I also offer vegs. Pepper, Squash, beans, peas, zucchini. And in small amount fruit papaya, raspberry, mango, apple.

Don't feed adults live food more than once a day (except gravid females). You should have a weight scale to manage how much is appropriate. I never feed mealworms.
