Bearded dragon running in place?

So my 3 year old dragon has been doing this weird thing where when shes in her cage she'll dig up the glass on the bottom of the cage and just try and run, she puts the front of her snout on the wall of the cage and just starts doing that, kinda looks like a person on a treadmill. I don't know why she does this, so if anyone could answer that would be great.

It may be that she's trying to get out. They don't really understand clear barriers very well from what I've seen. Have you tried taking her out and giving her some time to roam around outside the tank (in a safe area) when she does that? They are very curious and like to explore.

Yes I have, but it doesnt seem to work. She'll just sit on her rock and chill when she goes back in, and then continues to do the running thing. Its also in the same place each time.
