Are you feeding the crickets before feeding them to your dragon? If they're hungry enough, they'll probably attack anything they can find that can be food. If you're still having problems, you could put down some veggies that crickets like (baby carrots, etc.) when you put the crickets in for the dragon to eat so they'll go for the veggies instead of the beardie.
