10 Month old female scratching at night

[steveh77]

I have a 10 month old female bearded dragon. Whenever i turn the lights off so she can sleep, she goes to a corner and scratches for 10-15 minutes before she settles down and sleeps. What could be wrong?

Let her scratch, it sounds like she's trying to dig a burrow. You may toss in an old tshirt, rag, or kitchen towel with her. Just make sure it's clean.

When you say "turn the lights off" are you turning all light off, or just the ones in her viv? Dragons can't really sleep with ANY lighting, red, blue, white... color really doesn't matter and it really messes up their sleep.

I turn her lights off when i also turn my lights off in the bedroom.
