Beardie acting different

[J0sie]

Hi everyone,

So over the last couple days my beardies behaviour has changed. Shes still eating/pooping etc ok so im not concerned but is digging in the corner alot. Plus doing this strange thing where her head is going down then all 4 legs move backwards and forwards really fast. Its not like the digging shes been doing. Its almost like a bum wiggle too. Just trying to work out what is going on. We think we have a girl but still not 100% sure. Really appreciate any advice anyone has

Hi there,

How old is your girl?

Can you post a picture of her and of your setup?

She is a year old. She is constantly digging atm which is really unusual for her. Shes normally content in her viv. We get her out around the house and have had her in the garden occasionally. Just trying to work out the most likely reason for the sudden change in behaviour

Sounds like shes gravid please offer her a lay box
LAYBOX

potting soil that doesn't have any type of chemicals or fertilizers in it, mixed with sand, etc. Be sure it is at least 10-12 inches deep & that the mix is damp enough to where it will hold up to her making a burrow but not sopping wet to have standing water.
