Can you feed baby chicks feeder crickets from the pet store?

My friend was showing me her new chicks and her sister had just finished visiting. She brought her lizard and left its crickets behind. We called her and she said she was too far away and we could let them go but she also suggested feeding them to the chicks. Is this okay? So do we need to take them to the vet for the ones that got in their tub. They are about a week old.

1. no,just turn the crickets go,baby chicks need to have starter crumbles,they have to be able to eat grit to digest the crickets,and that isnt possible till theyre like 2-3 months old at least... EDIT:as far as the vet goes,IDK,if you can it would be a good idea,but they need to know about chicks....
