Is it ok to feed my bearded dragon hatchlings lats (Blatta Lateralis) for like 3 days? I ran out of dubia and shipment of my supplier will arrive within 3 days. Thank you!

She has posted back and this is what she said
Yes but they 100 % must be tiny, smaller than the space between the baby's eyes. It's very important with hatchlings especially, not so important once the beardies are past the 10-11" mark. If in doubt you can run to a pet store that sells tiny crickets or even a few large containers of flightless fruit flies.

Unfortunately it is hard to find here in my area, I have ordered 2 colonies of dubia roaches just to be sure not to ran out of food for my babies. But I currently have Lats and Superworms. Is superworms a better choice? How much lats/worms can I feed them? Thank you so much.

Here is what she has asked
I wouldn't use even tiny superworms with actual hatchlings. How old are your babies and how many do you have ? HHave they been eating regularly ?

O.K. just feed them tiny sized lats. If you can, post pics of the babies and the lats next to them for size comparison.
