My understanding is that properly gut loaded small crickets would be appropriate to feed as an occasional supplement. As to how many, you get the vast gammut of responses. I do not feed my Uros animal protein, but I do give them the pretty bird finch food, which has quite a bit of protein in it, as a supplement to their food (and as a handy thing to feed them if I am out of greens and in a rush). I thought that the care sheet elluded to the probable appropriateness of feeding the occasional cricket, though I cannot remember for sure. I have no experience with the super worms or silk worms though.

Hopefully someone who does feed occasional crickets to juvies will speak up here. I do know that as long as he is eating everything else, he will most likely be a happy healthy Uro! lol. With poorly acclimated babies they will often refuse greens and only eat protein, which is bad news.

I am very glad to hear how well he is doing!
