Bearded Dragon Egg

Well today my bf got me a bearded dragon for valentines day. he also got me a 20 gallon tank, two hideaways and a waterbowl and crickets. the cage came with the purple heat bulb and a white day bulb that says used for uvb. i have the heat lamp over one side and the day light over the center. its a zilla brand habitat. the basking temp is about 90 and cool down side is about 70. We let the cage get warm before putting her in it. when we put her in the first thing she did was eat a cricket. theres two more in there running around. i havent bought calcium dust yet. but im going to tomorrow. Shes about 4-5 inches long, closer to four and a half. shes very docile and sweet. shes laying on her heat treated basking area hideaway which is what looks like half of a small hallowed out tree. He got everything at petsmart. she also has a taller rockish hideaway on the opposite side, maybe as tall as the baby tail to nose. i figured stone would help with cooling down. no heating pad or rock. and a stone like water bowl, shallow of course. I was curious if her laying on the log for a while not really moving is normal or if shes not happy already or..? Im pretty sure shes just doing what shes supposed to do in that spot, "bask" but i just wanna be sure. also any tips or new beardie advice would be great ⌒.⌒ also, what about bathing them? Do you think my hideaways are to tall for my baby? The logs about an inch shorter than the rock decor, and I sat her on the log she didn't go by herself.
