The simple solution is to remove the rocks. Apparently there is something about the he doesn't like, it may be a dominance display if your dragon is a boy. Yes, they can damage their teeth/jaw and snout if they are attacking something hard enough. Also, how old is your dragon? If he's under a year, you should reconsider the sand and maybe switch to tile, reptile carpet or newspaper. I use sand for my adult dragons, but I don't recommend it for dragons under 1 year.
