So have you heard anything about those? I have been spraying his crickets each meal, but is sounds like I only need to spray them 5 meals a week with calcium and 2 times a week with the vitamins.....that is....if the spray is ok???
phoenix worms I would definitly suggest you to get. They are loaded with Calcium 8,155ppm when crickets are 345ppm. I know longer use crickets cause they refuse them. I actually started a dubia roach colony. Plus crickets will smell after awhile, and I mean smell! Having them eat roaches is good cause they have more meat to shell ratio...which means more protien! Also I would suggest not to feed mealworms, the shell is hard to digest with young beardies. You can find alot of great dealers for crickets, roaches, worms, etc... You just have to find who has the best prices! Here are a couple in case you didnt know.

As far as the vit spray. I have never used it, just Rep Cal w\d3 and herptivite. Please remember that you can over vitamin them... I myself only dust them 5 days. 3 Days calcium and 2 days vitamin.
Also give baths! They love them and its a great way to keep hydrated.
You will find that this site is unbelievable! You meet great people and they truly love helping. I'm new to this whole thing aswell. I have two beardies Maize 3 1/2mths and Kai 3mths. You also meet alot of breeders which are also very knowledgable.
As far as how much they eat. I was informed allow them to eat as much in 15min. they will stop eating when they are full.
Post some pics!
