My one year old bearded dragon was not eating, so we took him to the vet and he doesn't have parasites or anything like that so we got an anti-inflammatory oral medication. He has been getting his meds everyday, (except one day because i forgot), but other than that he has been doing great. When he was a baby he would poo everyday, but as he grew older he didn't poo as much maybe one time a week. Since he got his medicine he has started having minor interest in some food, like superworms, but only eats the flukers buffet blend. i have those as a treat for him, but thats all he eats. anyways everytime he poops, which is now everyday, they are healthy stinky beardie poops, but he has started running around his cage everyday. normally i find the poop after i wake up, and he will start having bursts of energy. it is almost like he is trying to run away from the smell. He has astro-turf in his cage and he will dig up one corner of it and sit on the glass. after new years he is getting a new tank. much bigger with tile on the floor. i was just wondering if this was normal behavior, as he is my first beardie and he is normally very lazy.
He probably does want to get away from it. You might start a routine of taking him out at a specific time of day and putting him in a spot that is easy to clean when he poops. Keep him there till he goes, then let him free. After a while he will probably settle into a routine and wait until he's in the proper spot to go and it will be easier on both of you.

Yep, my dragon does the same thing, lol! She spent want to poo in her house and, when she does, she won't go anywhere near it. I have to clean it up before she will go to that end of the viv, lol!
