How many crickets does a juvenal bearded dragon eat daily?

I'm getting a Bearded Dragon tomorrow and I need to know how many crickets it eats daily? The pet store said about 2, but I've seen care sheets that say anywhere from 10-30 daily?

1. 7-10 every other day - Juviniles 30 every other day!- adults
2. Daily for a beardy depends. I would say about 5 or 10 crickets every day. Just watch him and see how much he eats daily and you will soon find your magic number. Also there are pelleted formulas for jeuvys that I would really recomend. In the wild bearys eat a mixture of insects and vegetable matter, the feeding him pellets plus crickets adds a more nutritional diet
3. you should feed it 4 or 5 large crickets a day.
4. as many as u put in depends on how active he is
5. 12-25 is what i do but like the others said it depends on the beardie hope i can help
6. 25-30 a day is a good number for juvies.
