New bearded dragon question

We just purchased our first bearded dragon yesterday - a small juvenile. He seems to be doing fine, but I had a few questions I was hoping someone could answer.

He devours crickets immediately when we put them in with him. Should we give him as much food as he will take, or will these animals over-eat?

We were sold one heat lamp with a red bulb and told to keep in on 24 hours (we also have an under-tank heat pad). The heat in the tank is high on the hot side - it is measuring above 90 in the middle of the tank. I understand that this is what it should be during the day. However, should we be concerned that the heat is not going down at night? Will he move to the cool side of the tank when he needs to? (He spent his first night with us as high and close to the heat lamp as he could get).

Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!
