Probably too big. While not a complete rule, go for feeders equal to or less than the length of the mouth opening or "lips", at least with wide feeders like dubia. So it depends on the size of you cham. Generally, smaller and more numerous is recommended. Hope that helps.

too small is better than too big. Mine was eating 1/4-1/2" at that age.

Maybe you can get your own colony started by buying some adult males and females? They're really easy to keep.
