how many crickets does your dragon usually eat at a time? you should feed it as many as it will eat in about a 10 minute period...2 times a day.
make sure that you are feeding the crickets with some scrap veggies or some commercial gut load from the pet store.
are you dusting with calcium/ multivitamins?
also just me personally i would take the cave out of the enclosure...a dragon this small needs to be basking the majority of the day so that it can digest food properly and have more time to grow.
hope this helps a bit, just let me know of other questions

Mine was slow growing at first. If yours is eating the right amounts, i wouldn't worry too much for now. Mine only grew about an inch in the first month and then had a growth spurt- growing 5 inches in 2 months. Ive had her 3 months and she started at 9 inches and is now almost 15inches.

jharris08 is right about the hide- babies will spend most of their time in there and not enough time basking. You could always put it in on a night time, after lights out.

Ok, I'll give that a try. :D thank you. Plus does anyone know how to tell the difference between a Inland bearded dragon and a Lawson Dragon besides the size?

Lawsons look quite a bit different from a beardie. They don't have a beard, they can turn their throat black but there is no pouch to puff out. Their face is usually shorter and they have more of a baby face. They pattern on their backs is quite different from a beardie and they are usually more spiky on the sides of the tail.
Generally they are a pale tan/sandy color and even when upset really don't get dark gray. They don't come in any colorful morphs.

Yours is a regular bearded dragon, I've never heard of anyone getting a Lawsons by mistake. They are fairly uncommon and more expensive then beardies.

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!
