Default Is this normal?

My 2 baby beardies are quiet active during the day, I have quiet a few logs and rocks for them to climb on which they seem to love . When I see Baby beardies in pet shops they dont seem so active so are mine displaying normal behaviour? They `go to bed` around same time every night settling down in the same corner. They are eating plenty of crickets but they not eating much greens, I have given them dandilions, rocket lettuce, kale and shredded carrot and water cress , water cress seems to be the only one they will eat.
I have only had them about 9/10 days and I never thought I would get so attached to lizards lol I am really enjoying them.
