What is the best thing to feed hatchlings? Are waxworms too big for them?

I think waxworms are too big, they are also fatty and should not be used as staples.

The best thing you can use would be small crickets, about 1/4 inch. Some pets stores sell them but you but you will find them much cheaper if you buy them in bulk on the internet. Be sure to gutload them so their bellies will be full of lots of good stuff for your beardie.

Stay away from worms they can and will cause impaction. Feed crickets like stated and also you can try bearded dragon pellets by rep-cal.
