At what age can/should you start giving your beardies 4 week crickets? Or does it just depend on the size of the beardie. Of course, I know that you shouldn't feed them crickets bigger than the space between their eyes... but I just want to know if there's anything specific to cricket sizes + beardies.

You pretty much summed it up. Beardies under 1 year of age can eat anywhere between 25 and 75 crickets a day. The size of the cricket should be no larger than the space between their eyes.

A 4 week old should be able to eat their crickets. However, you have possible relocation stress added into the equation, which can bring down the number of crickets eaten.
