The general rule for supers is 16". Hornworms are softer and easier to digest, so as long as they are the size between his eyes, I don't think there is a set length (though maybe I'm wrong?)
IMO and general view here is no superworms until the beardie is 12 months old - only as treats.
I fed my beardies silkworms from 6-8 weeks old, at which point I was giving them mealworm sized silkworms (small about 1.5" long).
I expect the same can apply to hornworms.
Being very soft and squishy, the rule about the space between the beardie's eyes doesn't apply for very soft worms like silkworms and hornworms. I was given medium sized (1.5"-2" long) silkworms to Peppa and Toothless at 3 month old .
Yeah I heard if its soft worms you dont need the between the eyes. If not oops poor Dixie received some big small hornworms at 3 months even small hornworms look big. She never had any problems, think it made her poops more watery tho...She gets calciworms as a staple and used to give her few times a week silkworms and hornworms and some butterworms occasionnaly.
Between the eyes things can be a bit confusing.
I was watching a video on you tube about a dragon breeder and he said its not the lenght of the eyes but the width of the eyes?? If that makes any sense
so the way he was saying the cricket would be place vertical and if its not fatter or bigger than the size between the eyes?
Like o|o and i always tought it was o-o?cricket would be horizontal
He was saying that his dragons at 6 weeks was eating 1/2 size crickets ?Can they?

Right now I am feeding my beardies about 12-20 crickets a day depended on how many he will eat. He also eats food pellets and freeze drives vegetables. How do you all feel about freeze dried crickets? Also what type of worm should mix into his diet and where is the best play to buy them?

Give him as many crickets as he can eat in 10-15min 2-3 times a day. He should be eating 20-50 crickets a day
Ditch the pellets, they are junk, same with the frozen veggies, Get him turnip greens, mustard greens, collard greens, endive, dandelion, or another approved veggie. Freeze dried crickets are not very good, beardies need live
Oh, I forgot about the worms. For worms, try silkworms, BSFL (aka black solider fly larvae, repti-worms, calci-worms, and phoenix worms), and small hornworms. All of those can easily be purchased online.
Okay last question, haha, how do you all store your crickets? I saw online where I can purchase like 1,000 but I don't know where I would put that many.
