These here on her tummy.

She has been very active this morning and has started digging around, could she be trying to lay eggs?

Beardies dig for many reasons, it's a natural behavior but she could be digging for egg laying. You could put in lay box like this. It's about 20" L by 12" W by 7 " H, sand/soil mix dampened and mixed with warm water until it's the consitency of cookie dough. EDIT ***** Forgot the laybox picture :

Hello,

It is always possible she is trying to lay eggs or is
just digging around because she is developing eggs. It's hard to tell.
How is she doing today?

Hi,

She spent most of yesterday roaming around and digging, now she has gone back to being lazy again, laying under her hide again not really moving. Mostly sleeping.

Hello,

When they develop eggs, many times they are looking for a place to lay them & will start numerous
burrows to lay them in before settling on a certain spot.
It sounds like she wore herself out!

@Drache613 Just wanted to share an update, she has been to the vets last week and was given the all clear. Perfectly healthy as far as the vet could tell with all her tests/inspections. Just advised me to use reptiboost and bath her every couple of days to help with hydration as she still doesn’t eat her greens. She weighed in at 417g. She was active for 2 days after the vets and has now gone back into slumber. Next time she poops it is getting sent to the lab.

Hello,

She is enjoying her sleeping phase right now! That's good to hear the vet gave the all clear for her last
week. It does make it hard when they wont eat their greens. Just give a bath when you can & or try
using a plastic dropper or syringe to drip water onto the nose to see if she will drink that way.
