Hello, my bearded dragon is about 2 and a half years old. In the space of a few months, I'm sure she's laying her 3rd batch of unfertilised eggs. Is this normal? Is she having hormonal issues and is there any way I can help control this, eg lighting, diet etc so she doesn't have to go through this constantly? It's starting to look a bit stressful as she loses her mind for about a week digging in her enclosure before going back to normal, calm and docile.
How many batches of eggs is normal?

Maybe u should contact a vet or lizard specialist.
Yes it is normal. I know it seems crazy but they can lay up to 8 clutches [ rarely ] in a year but most dragons won't lay that high number. Three or four clutches is average for a female's first year laying and the frantic digging is normal, some act out more than others. Do you have a laybox for her ? And if you are able can you post some pics of her + her enclosure ?
Not home right now but she has a topsoil/playsand/excavator clay sub that she enjoys digging in. She usually loses her mind for a bit and then after a bit of encouragement will lay her eggs in her hide and bury them.

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
