Staying in enclosure

[eapoe2b]

Hi Everyone. So we've hit spring and my beardie does not want to stay at all in her enclosure. Is anyone else going through this? I don't mind her being out, but I also don't want her to get lost somewhere in my house or get hurt and I don't have the time to be out in my backyard all day with her either. Does anyone have any suggestions on how they get their beardie to stay in their enclosure more throughout the day?

Her temps are good and she eats well. She loves to window watch, roam the house and be in the backyard and hunt for dandelions.

It's normal for them to be hormonal this time of year. Especially if she just came out of brumation.

I broke out my shooters muffs so I don't have to listen to Sinatra scratch and bang. AHHHH peace and quite at last.

Ive heard some folks say they have provided a dig box..I dont know much about them, but some of the other folks do. Im in the process of having a bioactive enclosure made so mine has some more enrichment. Ill post more about it as he adjusts to it when it is in for him. I think @xp29 provides his beardies with stuff to dig.

I do occasionally especially if I think a female may be gravid. I have stopped using loose substrate all the time because of the dust. Their nostrils end up being dirty all the time and it coats the uvb tube which in turn blocks a significant amount of uvb. I also can't help but think with that much dust it could be hard on their respiratory system.
