I have a bearded dragon not sure how old he is but he is around
9 or 10 inches how many crickets should I feed him a day?
and also he doesnt seem to want to eat any romaine lettuce carrots or green beans.

Offer as many crickets as he will eat in say a 5 minute period.......do this 2-3 times a day. Drop them in a few at a time until he doesnt eat any more. Offer a variety of greens and eventually your dragon should taste them and realize that they are good food. Try some collards, escarole, kale, mustards, and many others, not to mention you can through in some pellets also. Chris

Make sure you are feeding correct sized crickets, no larger then the space between it's eyes.
My 9" dragon will eat 40-50 crix at a time if I let him.

Here's a few sites that have good info on what greens/veggies/fruits your dragon should have.
