In the past, my beardie had been running about out of her cage while I sat on the floor scrolling through my phone, when she just randomly bites my finger curled around my phone. It wasn't a hard bite, and was more tongue than teeth, but it scared me a good bit because it was only a few weeks after I had gotten her.
Then, this morning I was checking up on her in her cage while she was on her basking rock, then I pulled out my phone and started texting, right in front of her glass. After a minute or two she darted from her basking rock and slammed into the glass, mouth open, trying to get my phone. I moved my phone back and forth and she followed it attentively and even struck at it a few times.
I got it on a short video, because I thought it was funny at first.

Anyways, after I put my phone out of her view, she ate a few pieces of the squash I had left in her cage.
Does anybody else have any weird stories about their beardies randomly wanting to eat mundane objects? Is this a sign that she's not getting enough action in her food? I give her Phoenix worms, or black soldier fly larvae, which don't hop around like crickets.
