Accidentally fed 3 huge crickets to my 4.5 month old

So my beardie Dash is a 4t month old but is a big boy/girl (approx 16” and at least 200g now. We just switched to 3/4” crickets and for a mid day feed, I shook some crickets in from a. Cricket keeper tube. 3 very large ones fell out (wings and all) and he pounced on them like they were nothing! I’m a little worried about him eating crickets so big. Anything I should watch for? He’s basking (lounging) now and certainly seems fine.

Should be fine, just keep an eye on the poop.
