I might be able to answer some questions. If you check out www.vandivers.com, they have tips on weaning bearded dragons off of crickets and onto a pellet/veggie diet. Of course occassional supplementation with crickets would still be beneficial.

I just got several. I use small rubbermaid containers for when they're babies. As they get older, they'll be moved into larger enclosures. Males are recommended to be housed alone. Females can be housed together provided they get along. Paper towels are usually recommended as substrate for juveniles and babies. When young, their diet mainly consists of crickets.

Otherwise, I'd say they're similar. Just larger and more omnivorous. Usually a 55 gallon is recommended for one and 75 gallons for 2. The bare minimum would be a 40 gallon breeder aquarium and that usually works with smaller dragons.
