I feed my hatchlings mini superworms along with crickets. The key is to ease the dragons on to them. Feed them a couple each, a couple hours later a couple more, and so on. Too many initially will cause the dragon to gorge and throw up. After a few times of easing them onto the supers, they can be fed as much as they can eat. You can also feed the just molted "white" supers to just about any size bearded. They are soft at this stage and easy to digest. Babies can pull them apart too, if a couple are thrown into the cage.

Being that large crickets are less and less common because of the virus, I have no choice but to start feeding my juvies large supers. They also get eased on to them the same as the babies. Feeding them supers early in the day works well so they have the rest of the time to digest them.

One more thing...hydrate the supers well before feeding them out. It will make them easier to digest. Try carrots, cactus, etc.
