We live in phoenix az and spazz jr escaped out side for four days, when I found her she was under a cactus eating the fruit !
Sense she’s been back home she moved her paper towel to one end of the tank, so we switched to rabbit pellets,
Now she digs all the time and sits in the “cool” end of her tank.

i just had a look and it said that they can eat the prickly pear, which is the cactus fruit!!

so i think ur in the clear, its also a great staple!!

we know she can eat the fruit, but why did she start to dig
is she practicing to bury her eggs?

could be

im not sure if you know but the females do not need to mate a male to lay eggs, if she hasn't had contact and she lays, just freeze the eggs and turf em out

if she has had contact then i cant help lol

good luck
