according to the beautifuldragons.com nutrition chart its an "occasional food" i tend to stay away from acidic foods but im sure once a week wouldnt hurt as long as its fed in smaller quantities

All fruits should be "occasional" They should just be used to get babies to try salads. I rarely feed my adults fruits now. It's too easy for BD's to get fat in captivity. I never feed citrus but I can't remember why. Try mango or berries as an alternative.

Oranges and other citrus fruit I would classify for bearded dragons as 'never'.
