Into small bitesize pieces for them? I had 1000 1/4 in crickets and they ate them all in a week so the only thing left at the petstore was mealworms and superworms. So I bought 25 supers and the same in mealworms. I put one mealworm live and wiggling among the pieces of superworm and they eat everything..Is this okay until I can get some silkies? I cant imagine that it would harm them would it? Please let me know I dont want to make them sick. One is around 7 inches and the other about 5-6 inches....

I wouldn't be giving babies that small mealworm or supers, even cut up. The hard shells on them could cause impaction. Can you get your hands on some pellet? That would be better IMO.

Ah the joys of Beardie babies eh? They are so ravenous!
Might be a good time to introduce them to greens while they are good and hungry, get them some nice collard greens, mustard greens, Bok Choy, chard etc... and let them give that a try till you can get some more crickets. The Supers might be a bit much for them at that age.
