Possible Brumation

[Allybee]

My Beardie hasn't really been eating much, she has pooped what she did eat so shes pooping fine but shes always in a corner or cave scratching. i suspect shes just trying to brumate but she can't get comfortable or happy, so she scratches for a very long time and then goes somewhere else to scratch. Shes scratched so much that her nails are filed down to the nubs, i don't want her to scratch until her nails bleed and i want her to be able to settle, what should i do?

Ally she may very well need to lay eggs. Set up a laybox ASAP. Get an 18 gal. plastic tote, a 50 lb. bag of sand [ you can also use coco fiber, call pet store to see if they carry it and/or top soil from home improvement store ] dampen it and put about 8-10 inches deep. You can pile it on one side and start a tunnel for her. Put a clamp lamp on top so she doesn't get too cold. If a beardie does not have a nesting site she may hold her eggs + become eggbound so you want to fix the box quickly.

i will do this ASAP but there also is quite a bit of sand in her cage, including a cave with sand in it, so i dont know if she will go in the tote
