4 month old beardie, chewing on a rock!!!

Worried beardie owner here.

Caught my 4 month old chewing on one of the rocks on her cage. I'm unsure why she would do something like this. Her behaviour had been normal and I've never seen this before. She's been eating woodies 3 times daily and eats a bowl full of calcium sprayed salad. Temperatures are fine and she is pooping normally.

She also gets her vitamin dusting every Sunday, has has a bath 2-3 times a week. She is very alert and active and is fully of energy.

Just a worried beardie slave

Still no reply? Noone really knows what the problem is. Or is this normal behaviour?

I want to say it's a sign of having the munchies. Mine does this too - along with the branches i've stuck in there, but then I toss in a few crickets and he stops.

He just did it again to all the branches I've set up, knocking them down forcing me to perch them back up again. HERE WE GO.
