Live Feeders on Vacation

I am going on a brief vacation for 3-4 days and my bearded dragon will be in the care of someone else. My beardie usually eats live feeder crickets, dubia roaches, and/or super worms (along with her salad) every day. Is it okay for my beardie-sitter to feed her freeze-dried crickets for the few days I am away? Obviously this isn't ideal but it would be in addition to her normal salad. Thanks!

You could feed it something like Repashy's Beardie Buffet. Easy to make; pour some in boiling water and put it on a feed dish. Keep it in the fridge

How old is your dragon?

You can feed her freeze-dried; that doesn't mean she'll eat freeze-dried (unless you already know she will). If she's an adult, for a few days it'll be fine either way. If a baby/juvie, she should have some protein every day while she's growing. Any chance of leaving some feeders with instructions?
