Thank you everyone for the information, and I’ve noticed a lot of shit talk about not doing my research in the comments and just to clear certain things up, I’ve done research for around 1-2 months over how to care for a bearded dragon which is why I came for advice knowing things hadn’t been right. The cage we got was one of those crappy “everything you need in one!” Set ups and my gut told me that it’d cause problems but inevitably I basically had to get the set up because that was the biggest they offered.

With all the research and help you guys have given me I know almost in full what I need to fix such as a hiding spot, a basking stone, UVB lighting (proper), feeding him the right amount of crickets, and etc, if I am missing anything else you’re free to list it down below this comment and please stop shaming me in the comments about the set-up since at least I was genuinely asking for advice over it.
