I have never had a dragon regurgitate crickets..but dragons will regurgitate their food for many reasons.

If they eat too much too fast, that can cause them to regurgitate...which I think may be the case with your dragon. He probably didn't get alot of food at the store you bought him (they didn't' feed him enough or often enough or he was in with other dragons and rarely was able to eat all he wanted). Thus, he was suddenly presented with unlimited crickets and he tried to eat as many as he can as quickly as he could and wound up eating too much.

As he is new, he probably stopped eating as often or at all, as he now realizes he is in a new environment and isn't sure of himself anymore...but he should be back to normal within a week or two.

Other reasons a dragon will regurgitate (especially if this keeps happening..a one time puke I won't worry about, continual puking, I would worry about much much more). Gastronomic problems can cause regurgitation, internal parasites, defects, growths, blockage etc, all can cause regurgitation and in most cases, a vet will be needed to properly diagnose what is wrong.

But if he is eating now and no longer puking..it won't be necessary to have him brought to a vet for this issue..though it isn't a bad ideal to bring your dragon to a vet for a general checkup an fecal, to make sure everything is ok.
