My dad has a juv. bearded dragon and it's getting over run with breeding crickets. will this cause any harm to the dragon? should he just put the dragon in a new tank or keep things going the way they are?

I must be missing something. The replies don't seem to address the question?
Anyway, it's not a good idea to leave crickets in with a dragon overnight.

Crickets shouldn't be allowed to breed and lay eggs in the same cage as your dragons are housed. Best thing to do is clean out the cage completely, then set up with clean substrate etc and make sure no crickets are let in the cage over night.
If the crickets are being bred in a separate container, just reduce the amount of adults left to lay eggs in the next batch or stop breeding altogether.
