Congrats on the clutch! Not to derail the OP's thread but just want to quickly advise to make extra sure your newborn beardies are getting enough to eat. They don't do as well starting out on dubia and will nip like crazy if they aren't extra spread out and fed around the clock. Something about the jumping motion of crickets triggers them that the dubia doesn't. As much as I hate crickets, I used to order thousands of 1/4'' each week until the newborn beardies hit the 4 week mark or so. You can feed them dubias only as new hatchlings, but it requires more work than crickets, just fyi.
