You didn't mention how long he is. It's hard to guess how much he should eat without at least his length. I'm not a Pheonix worm believer and would recommend you try to find appropriately sized crix. Gutload them prior to feeding them to your beardie. The pet store chains sell a grain insect food which is fine. The orange cubes etc. are worthless. Use apples for moisture.

I would also not recomend the under tank heater. He's fine without even if your house drops into the low 60's. Lower temps. slow reptiles metabolism and will allow him to rest. Babies should have higher basking temps. than adults. I would recommend 110-115 max. Higher temps. create dryer environments and there is always a dehydration risk with baby dragons. My suggestion would be to drip water onto his nose with an eyedropper at least once a day until he stops licking it.
