Bearded dragon only likes it outside of tank

Hello! I got a new bearded dragon a few(3 days) ago, and she was super stressed and nervous the first 2 days, but perked up today once I fed her. I have quite the issue though, she only likes stuff out of her tank! She'll only eat out of her tank, and she only moves a lot outside of the tank, inside of it she just finds a place to lay down and doesnt move after that. But I'm scared she can't be out of the tank the whole day, or she'll get health problems.
She's currently shedding, diet is worms and kale so far with a few blueberries (she has only eaten once, and hasnt eaten the blueberries yet)
Her tank is healthily sized, with a climby tree, and a basking rock under the lights (both have hidey dens in them), and a plastic plant, she has not basked or done anything yet, she is currently sleeping on the tree. (Not far in, just on a root on the bottom.)
She's super nice, never blackbeards, a nice orange color all of the time for her beard. She has no name, thinking of naming her Mango.
She is 8 years old from a good owner.
Yes, I bathe her everyday for sheddingl (For some reason she's interested in her reflection, not angry at it.)

Good morning
They are going to ask about lighting!
And if the tank is the right temp with the right lighting then she just might be a chill dragon
I adopted Rusty as a adult, he also is very chill dude, he never goes to bathroom in his tank, he loves to be out and about, and he also loves his tank.
She will tell you what she needs, it took me few months to understand Rusty, but now he communicates his needs to me pretty well lol
Although i do think baths (daily) is a little too often, i never do more than 2 or 3 a week, if shed i use spray bottle to offer water, but he takes off and acts mad if it's not what he wants! Lol
Just watch her and she will talk to you promise ❤️gl

I see! She's used to one bath a day for when shedding, and she's really really shedding (legs and a lot of the body), I also think it's interesting how she perked up immediately and now responds to me in her tank positively, and requests to be taken out and likes to be near me. Another odd thing, she shows a lot of positive signs towards my DOG, as my dog stands guard at the tank 7 hours a day.

Awe that's adorable, my dog runs, cats always near tank, but thankfully Rusty was used to cats from his first owner.
I never really wanted a dragon, but, once I had him i just can't stop staring at him and i want nothing but to make him happy lol more time i spend with him the more i love him, he is a smart dude and teaches me post a pic for us would love to see her
