Like a multivitamin for reptiles

I wouldn't give her superworms either. She's too small.
Go get some calciworms from Petco. Or look on Craigslist and get her some roaches.
Beardies are not supposed to have insects only. Keep feeding her veggies. For a beardie that size/age, she's going to need more than 5-6 worms a day. She might even need to eat twice a day. As I said in a previous post, it should be as much as they can eat in 10-15 min.
I think you are making it harder than it needs to be. Who is telling you to feed her mealworms?? I have never seen that recommended, except from a petstore, which you should never trust.
Please, go to www.beardeddragon.org.
It's just like this forum, but for bearded dragons.

They probably have herptivite or something similar at the store.
Yes, you can switch it up. Did you go to the bearded dragon forum to find out about feeding frequency for a juvie? All of my experience is with an adult. He was 18 inches when I got him.
