My bearded dragon burrows when he is ready to go to sleep for the evenings. It is very sweet! Almost cat like. Does anyone else have one that does this?
Hi there,
Beardies dig because they want to find somewhere safe and enclosed to sleep.
It sounds like he would definatly benefit from a hide.
Dexter used to dig at night untill I made her a hide.
I made a temperary 'makeshift' hide whilst I try (and fail a few times) to build her one from wood. All you need to do is get a shoebox and cut a small door into it. Inside you can add a section of towel/flannel if you like. I did because my dragon loves soft surfaces and dragons do like to feel surrounded and safe whislt they sleep.
As you can see it takes 5 minutes to make!
Build her one and pop her inside/half inside on the first night as she might be too much of a fraidy cat to explore it herself.
Dex took to hers like an alcoholic to a good scotch.
She also stopped digging and seems happier.
I put a dry fluffy washcloth on his basking platform. He cuddled up in it all night. He loved it. I took it out this morning for the day time. He looks sooo happy :wink:
