Digging box substrates?

One of my dragons is getting into his older years, and he just looks plain uncomfortable when he sleeps. I also wanted to give him something to do, so I was thinking of a digging box. He loves being wrapped up in blankets, but blankets are quite hard to wash poop out/off of, so I figured maybe his own little digging box would let him get all snuggly. But what should I put in the digging box? I've read alfalfa pellets...but that seems like it would be even more uncomfortable, and although his food is given to him in a bowl (he's on reptile carpet) I want the substrate to be something that is safe for him to ingest, just in case.

Ideas?

I read someone used dried dandelion leaves. You could order cleaned leaves from some where like NEherpetoculture to use.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
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!
