Scary, baby dragon eat 3 superworms!!

I know it's not good for him, he is only 6", but he didn't eat too much these days, only 2-3 crixs per day and has no interest in more crixs or any salad offered. So today, I decided to try mealworms and supers see what will happen. He ate 3 supers in a role, within 1 minute! Now I don't know what to do the next. Is it ok to offer him suppers later, he likes them so much as there is no tomorrow...

NO, do not offer him supers until he is at least 1 year old or 15 or so inches. I don't even reccomend feeding mealworms. They are almost worse off than supers. Their chitin is very stong and can get impacted very easily. The only supers I ever feed my dragons are freshly molted ones. Young dragons don't really have that much interest in veggies. Not until the get older anyway. Stick with crickets and maybe a soft boddies worm like a wax or butter worm. And remember...no bigger than the space between his eyes!!!!!
