At what age can you start feeding bearded dragons dubias?

You just offer the smaller ones to the younger dragons. Use the space between their eyes as a guide. Don't offer them roaches that are bigger than that space.

When you say "bigger than the space between their eyes" are you talking about how long the roach is or how wide? My beardie eats roaches that are no wider than the space between his eyes but if I measure the roach length wise they are usually bigger than his eyes and he scarfs them down with no problem.

Go with wider. If he isn't having any trouble eating them and passed them easily and regularly it's no problem. The concern is that they won't chew and digest larger bugs easily and can become impacted.
