By mini superworms do you mean just small superworms or mealworms? (which is a completely different species).

Personally I wouldn't feed mealworms as a staple insects to hatchling dragons. Gut loaded crickets are still pretty much the best feeder insect to use. Small to medium phoenix worms are good as well, though these are more costly to use, especially for alot of hungry babies.

If the dragons just hatched today, they should be Ok, if you can get an order in by Tuesday of crickets. Otherwise, you will have to make due with what you have, whether its good for them or not..starving isn't better. But most hatchlings are full of yolk after hatching for 2-4 days, so that does give you a bit of a grace period.
