crickets eating beardies

hey peoples,
is it true that if you have too many crickets in your encloser they can harm your bearded dragons.

yes, never leave crickets in with diurnal herps over night, they can nibble of your animal whilst sleeping. Beardies have even been killed when too many crickets were left in

FWIW, before lights out in the enclosure, refresh and replace your beardie's salad. Any rogue crickets would prefer to eat that than your beardie's eyes or vent... Also a form of "gut loading" your crickets!
Hope this helps!
Best,
Carolyn
