If you have gravel or sand in the viv, this is a very dangerous impaction risk for a dragon. I strongly recommend NO particulate substrates.

If the rock mentioned is small enough to be swallowed - it must be removed immediately. If ingested, it's very likely to kill the dragon.

Are you dusting the bugs with calcium supplement? He may be going after the rocks to get vitamins/minerals. He could just be in an active phase that has him more aggressive than usual in which case I'd let him run around a bit to burn off some energy.

I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding

What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.
