Default are these crickets too big for him?(pic)

I have recently changed my 12 week old baby beardie to medium crickets as he was going through at least 20 of the small ones a day so thought they might be too small for him, the only problelm now is I have bought 4 boxes of mediums not thinking that he may not like them and now I have cricks dying on me and a beardie who wont eat, he has had one or two each meal time but nothing more any advice?

heres a pic

Mine (12 weeks also) prefer the medium crickets although they dont eat as many.
Dont worry they will get use to them, but maybe try using locusts aswell, as larger crickets tend to have a bite at your BD during the night if they dont get eaten.
Aslong as the crickets are bigger than the space between your BDs eyes, its fine
