Hi everyone, I’m worried about my bearded dragon Pancake he/she is so small and doesn’t weigh much for its age. They’re around 10-11 inches long from nose to tail (I couldn’t get a very good measurement because they’re super timid and doesn’t like to be held/touched) and they only weigh 60 grams. 
I’ve had them since January 9th and the store said they’re around 2-3 months old so I’m not sure about their exact age. I don’t know if they’re male or female because they never let me hold/touch them. Pancake is currently in a 3ft x 2ft x 1ft tank, has a Reptisun 10.0 uvb, and a Reptisun 100w basking bulb they are both around 8 inches away from the basking spot. The basking temp is about 95-100F, warm side 85F, and cool side around 75-80 F. The lights are on a timer for 12 hours light and 12 hours dark.
They get daily greens such as but not limited to: mustard greens, horseradish greens, dandelion, clover, squash, carrots, etc. 2x a day once in the morning after basking light has been on for 2 hours and then once in the evening at least 2 hours before the lights are off. They’re currently getting mealworms, dubia roaches, and sometimes sometimes a wax worm or two. They get however many mealworms and roaches they can eat in a 10 minute period 2-3 times per day and the feeders are dusted with calcium and vitamins. They get a bath once per week (I would soak more but Pancake hates it). And I give them water through a tiny syringe and they lick it however much they want once per day.
Pancake is super active and their poops seem completely normal. I’m just really really worried about them. There aren’t any vets around where I live that will even think about touching a lizard let alone treating one so I can’t take them in for a checkup. Anyways if anyone has any suggestions or any questions about them or their set up lmk. I’m up for constructive criticism! Also the pictures aren’t very good because they don’t like me getting close to them.
