Re: What Size
One of mine did not stop till he was almost a year old and he no longer gets crickets cause of the risk, se he was switched to worms, and the other has never had crickets, she has been raised using silk worms and other worms. But is still eating them like they are going out of style.

Not sure about phx. worms, as I dont know anything about them.
But they can be given super worms and meal worms if they have molted, and silk worms at any time. However, it means keeping lots and lots of them worms around to be sure you have enough molted ones to feed off, silkies dont molt like that cause they dont have the hard outer shell, but they are mightly expensive. Plus, my dragons get chicken or turkey baby food to suppliment thier diets for thier animal proteins... the youngest, I raised on baby food till she was big enough to take the worms, as she came from a cruddy breeder not really eating well at all, and scared to death of any crickets near her.

I raised my female on baby food. So I dont see why not. The only thing I can think of that might be a downer, would be that your dragon does not like baby food and wont eat it. Mine, she is use to it.
Using baby food for me was not much of a choice, it was either that, or let her starve, as she was not a great eater and really should not have been sold like that. I have heard of others raising thier dragons on baby food without any issues like myself.

Re: What Size
Sweet, I have been looking for a cleaner alternative for cricks.

Re: What Size
Since yours have already been on crix, I would actually "wean" them off the crix once you are sure they are eating the baby food well enough to take crix away. Just taking the crix away could cause a problem, causing weight loss and such if they dont take to the baby food.
