My bearded dragon is about four months old. My vet said he should get 10-15 crickets a day. Is this true?

That sounds reasonable, but I wouldn't get hung up on set numbers. At that age he should get two bug meals per day. Offer him as many dusted crickets as he wants in about a 10 minute window or until he loses interest. You'll find that his appetite will fluctuate quite a bit over time so some days he will eat a ton of them and some days he won't show much interest and that's OK. For planning purposes, I usually ordered about 1,000 crickets per month with a dragon that age (eaten and die offs).

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
