beardie parents
BD.org Sicko
Zoom Zoom has been doing something I've never seen any of my 6 beardies do, nor have I read of any other's beardie doing it. She has been digging a hole in one of our tree wells. The first hole had her almost all the way in and then the one that just collapsed today had her all the way in, including her tail and she's 15 and 7/8 inches long. She keeps going into it and digging further and further. Does anyone have any idea why she's doing this? She did do a semi brumation last December through last March and it seems as if she wants to sleep later and later in the morning. On monday I had the day off to go to the Dr. and I got her out of her box at 8:30am, this is about 2.5 hours after her lights came on. Anyway, at 8:30 she still looked sleepy like she didn't want to be woken up. Speedy is slowing down a little, sometimes. Today, though they both were active and wandering all over part of our front yard (we have 4.8 acres total so I can't say they wander all over the 4 acres). Zoom did go back to her hole and it caved in and she had this expression that said "after all this work it caved in". My husband said she did go right back to digging the hole again.
Is it possible that she's trying to prepare a hole in anticipation of sleeping there when we take her outside? Why would she want to dig this hole? We only take her outside for anywhere from one to two hours usually. Once in a while she's only there for 30 to 45 minutes but that's when it's either cooler or the sun went away because it's trying to rain (sometimes that's all AZ gets in the rain area).
Miss Y used to dig, but not a hole to crawl in and disappear into. Redrock would "help" her dad dig when he was enlarging a tree well. Neither of them would dig this way and we are really curious.
Thanks in advance for any ideas you might have.
