I have posted around on the forum for the past week or so, but have not properly introduced my beardie! Here is Raji (not sure if he is a boy or girl yet, but im hoping for a boy; i will try and find out when hes a little bigger)

This is his enclosure, it is 18x18x24. I only have the dial thermometer at the moment, and I know they are not accurate so I am just waiting for my digital themometer to come in the mail from amazon.

I have had him for about a week, and he is 9" long. My guess is that he is about 1 and a half months old, if you know better please say so! Also if you have any tips or thoughts feel free to share!

I would recommend switching to a longer, less tall enclosure. Those are designed for the more arboreal lizards.
 
Gimmex is right, dragons do prefer longer, shorter tanks. I have a 40 gal breeder for my 2 month dragon, 36x18x16 (length width height). What's the measurement you used? Head to tail or head to vent? Most breeders don't sell babies younger than 2 months, or at least, the breeder I got my dragon from said they didn't.
What do you feed Raji? I feed Nameless crickets and I try to feed her greens (but she doesn't eat them). This website gives what to feed and what not to feed: http://www.beautifuldragons.com/Nutrition.html

I Would get something with at least twice the length, personally.

I start mine out in a 36"x18"x18" then when they get bigger i move them to 72"x24"x24" , bearded dragon do like to climb but its not recommended to let them climb too high, to avoid lossible injury. The ideal setup would have a lot of surface area with a decent amount of climbing as well.

He is right next to my TV in my room, and i always have an eye on him basically. He loves to climb, and i have never seen him take a leap of faith. Everything in there, his nails seem to grip very well.. He even climbs up the rock wall in the background.

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!
