Sand is a major negative with young beardies. If you decide to go down the sand route start saving your money as you will more then likely need it to buy a new Beardie after this one dies from sand compaction. this link explains some of the alternatives http://www.biology.lsa.umich.edu/res...le/BDcare.html
heaps of good info in this link which has other links for even more info. Enjoy.
Heres another couple for good measure. http://www.beautifuldragons.503xtrem...neralCare.html http://www.anapsid.org/bearded.html

Ceramic tiles are pretty damn good too. But a non slippery surface type like slate.

Ok sand is bad (don't use it). You can use like everyone else said, newspaper, butchers paper, paper towel but personally I love and use the fake grass. You can purchase the fake grass from Bunnings and it's not that dear around $30 a square metre, I done about 4 large enclosures out of that. It's easy to clean and looks great. Baby beardies love live food more than something in a can, small crickets, woodies etc as the movement of the live food really gets there attention, I feed mine about 3 - 4 small crickets/woodies a day. They do also eat fruit, vedgies etc but more as they get older. Baby beardies love to climb and hide, but they don't really climb a lot as they reach adulthood so I guess the size and shape of the enclosure is up to you. If you want the enclosure to be the right size for when they get older, go longer rather than higher and vica versa. I suppose you can use moss, but I've never tried it and I recon it's more for things like frogs etc JMO. Hope this helps.

This is the best way, no substrate till they are bigger, place a large tile under your heat lamp as a "hot rock" use a shallow tub so they are close to the fluoro lights. You can make a simple fly screen mesh lid if you like ( use alloy mesh so the light doesn't burn it)

crushed almond shells, sand and ANY other loose substrate can cause impaction
use paper towel, tile or newspaper, when that young... they lick EVERYTHING..
