Do bearded dragons need to burrow?
I know that FlapJack scratches around at night, which might be related to that natural instinct/behavior.. should I get some excavator clay or something for him?
I don't want a loose substrate, but I think you can put it in a portion of the tank?
Yeah if they want to burrow, especially to settle in for the night, it's helpful to accommodate them in some way. I have small fleece blankets down that allow for burrowing and digging to an extent. A pile of fleece strips or scraps would work in a similar way. Much less messy than soil or sand and it gets the job done for them.
