Hi,
We own several bearded dragons, one of which we are particularly concerned about.
We had several housed together for around 2 months with no problems. Then all of a sudden around a month ago one started digging furiously.
Around 4 months old we thought she was way to young to lay even infertile eggs. But we went ahead and placed a box of damp sand for her, she dug herself a little nesting hole and stayed there for over 24 hours. She then dug herself out and ate like a pig.
However over the following weeks she hasn't touched a single live food, apart from the odd cricket every so often, but very rarely. She's now housed separately but unfortunately she is still not interested in any live food. She does eat her greens a lot and seems active and alert in herself, and poo's regularly whenever shes eaten veg, which is almost daily.
We've tried various live foods for her, but she just isn't interested in anything. All she wants to do is dig and scratch away at the bottom of the viv.
