As far as brumation goes... that generally happens at around 8 months, not 8 weeks, so there is no risk of that right now. Another thing is during relocation stress timeframe, it is recommended that you do not handle your beardie very much as this can add more stress. I know it's hard but after a couple weeks of first owning him, you will be able to handle him as much as you want.
One more thing... I also live in Canada, and the temps in my terrarium were getting lower than they should (around 61 degrees Fahrenheit). Make sure the temps don't drop below 65 degrees. You can accomplish this with a Ceramic heat emitter.

And also sorry forgot to mention- we have the reptile carpet at the bottom but we put paper towels and sand paper on it (the sand paper helps with his nails). Also, there are some shells on the right (just for decoration).

It might be because I am currently on my phone but I cannot tell if you have a UVB light from the pictures. If not, that is priority number 1. Without UVB beardies are at risk for developing Metabolic Bone Disease. I recommend the Reptisun 10.0 t5 bulb as it has had the best results for beardies. Otherwise as long as the temps are correct the setup looks fine. Keep in mind regular thermometers are very inaccurate. It is recommended you get a probe thermometer or a temp gun for more accurate readings.
Good to hear your beardie has eaten today. I am very familiar with the stress that comes from being a worried owner.

Hi! Yes we have a UVB light that came with the cage and also got a red light for the night so it doesn’t get too cold. I’ll go buy a temp gun ASAP, thanks for the tips!
