As many as it will eat in 10-15 minutes. This should be done 2-3 time s a day for babies and juvies. Make sure the crickets are no larger than the space between the beardie's eyes.

It depends on how old your beardie is.
If he's a baby (1-5 months) feed him as many as he will eat in a 15 minute period 3 times a day! They can easily eat upwards of 100 a day at a young age!
If he's a juvenile (6-10) months you can cut back to 2 times a day.
For a sub-adult (10-14 months) you can cut back to once a day.
For adults, they'll eat about 30-50 a week. You can give him a few every day, or a lot every few days.
Be sure to always have fresh veggies available to him. A young dragon may not show much interest in the veggies, but they learn to love them, and the veggies are the main part of their diet as an adult. Avoid any veggie with the word "lettuce" in it as most lettuces are primarily water and void of any nutritional content.

If it's a baby, as many as he will eat at one time. Young dragons will eat 50 or more appropriate sized (no bigger than the space between his eyes) per day. Make sure crickets are well fed before using them as food. Dust them with Calcium/D3 several times a week and once a week with a multivitamin. Use other insects as well, such as superworms (for dragons over 12 inches long), silkworms, waxworms, phoenix worms. Avoid mealworms in beardies--they have difficulty digesting the shells. Don't forget a balanced daily salad.

that first question is bullsh it, do you think when the bearded dragon is in the Aussie bush, someone is there to say, stop eating now, they know when to stop, they are not rabbits. ask the bloke you bought it from, the pet shop i presume.
type in bearded dragon on google and you will be able to find some info, also they don't just eat crickets, vary the diet.
