Ok don't listen to that person they don't know much about bearded dragons. I Feed them 3 crickets a day each, sometimes more, sometimes less. As adults they should eat 3 the same except way bigger.
As babies, your bearded dragons should be fed a good amount of crickets, but you should try to feed them more vegetables. It is true that the younger your baby bearded dragons are, the more protein from insects they need; but if you do not get them started on greens, they will not want to eat them as much when they get older. You should probably feed them crickets twice or three times a week, and try to feed them vegetables every other day in order to provide them with the right nutrients
You don't stop.

If it is a baby, a few times a day. If it is an adult, then once a day is fine.
It depends more on the size of your dragon then the age. Rule of thumb, don't feed your Beardie anything bigger then the space between his/her eyes.
bearded dragons hide from you if you do not handle them alot if you want it to stop hiding try taming it by hand feeding it and holding it more often
If they live to a ripe old age for bearded dragons,they should live to about 10-12 years, although my last beardy lived to about 7 years old
The best diet for a baby bearded dragon is what they call "pinhead crickets" which are basically really tiny crickets. They also need fresh greens like romaine lettuce and need to be misted several times a day for the first couple of weeks after they are hatched. As they get bigger they stop needing to be misted because they get moisture from their greens. You may also want to think about a calcium supplement powder to sprinkle onto the crickets as well as the greens. The most important thing to remember about bearded dragons is that they are desert lizards and need high heat as well as high levels of UVB light to thrive. If they do not have both of these they will die.
Are you taking care of it properly??? Do you have UVB/UVA lighting, proper heat lamp, big enough enclosure, lots of handling? Younger bearded dragons diets are 80% bugs, whereas older/ mature ones are 80% fruit and veggies. If you have done all this, maybe take him/ her to your local vet or exotics vet if necessary.Bearded dragons do not grow for their whole entire life. It is normal for them to stop growing around the age of 1 and a half or 2 years.BUT DEFINITELY TAKE IT TO THE VET. BEARDED DRAGONS ARE SPECIAL AND ONE OF THE MOST INCREDIBLE PETS.
Give maybe 2 small locust or 3 crickets at most along with fresh greens and water, although you will need to watch in case they decide to stop eating or seem to require more. I know this as i have a bearded dragon myself
theyre tired
No they do not purr like cats. I don't think they do, they can hiss but I think that's about it.
You stop feeding them when they die.
Feed them as many as they will eat. They will not over eat, they will stop when they are full. Just make sure the crickets are the correct size for the size of the dragon; basically the cricket needs to be able to fit in the dragons mouth sideways. If you feed them too big of cricketts it can cause some stomache upset and other problems. I have a dragon that is 7 months old and eats 150 crickets in less than a week, yes she is eating her greens too. They eat like crazy when they are growing, they slow down once they are full grown. When full grown they also eat less cricketts and more greens. I hope this helps you.
no, they eat crickets... crickets are in the animal kingdom. therefore a lizard is not an herbivore.
by shutting the vivarium door after you.
Yes you can, but stop if it's beard gets dark or if it kind of tries to get out of your hand STOP, because that means it doesn't like it. Also only pull the skin if it's hanging or if the skin is on it"s nose. If the skin on it's nose it can't breathe!
