I need some help /an/
My 1 1/2 year old female bearded dragon is going insane. She keeps pecking at her glass of the cage and digging. She did this every once in a while when she was bored, but this has been going on for two days straight. I give her plenty of crickets and meal pellets, so it's defiantly not a nutritional problem. She gets plenty of attention and exercise, can anyone tell me why she is doing this?

Picture related, that is her.

Is your terrarium big enough? Maybe she's shedding her skin.

make sure you have a heat rock or heat pad to help fod digestion. if you have sand in its cage then it may be eating sand when it grabs for crickets. this causes a digestion problem which can kill then if they dont have the proper heat rock/pad. thats how my first one died... the heat lamp wasnt enough.

here is what you do dude
A: environment for her should be large set up as in at least 4 times as long as she is AT LEAST. with a heat PAD, as well as a heat LAMP on the same side with some sort of branch or something she can climb on to get closer or farther form it and it needs to be big enough for her to lay on it , A UVB light that is not older than 6 months of used after 6 months they lose there UVB and need replacing at least one light that spans all the length of the talk if there is none then she will have issues with growing and absorbing nutrition when digesting, crushed walnut shell for bedding at LEAST half inch deep if its dirty it can cause health issues, bowl for veggies, i use a mixed veggie frozen and thaw em out for her add a few fruits to it like a few simple fruits in small bits apples grapes so on and so on as well as crickets and meal worms go light on the meal worms there fatty. they get there water form there food so if your not giving her fruits and veggies she will get dehydrated, some cover all of witch needs to be on the COLD side of the setup.
also check her toes for skin caps
if she didn't shed right then they can restrict blood flow and eventually cut the toe off if there present then take them off by SOAKING her in water lukewarm for at least 20 minutes and remove very carefully.

OH and lots love loving... if you get my drift

Well the thing is, she has an enclosure thats about 3x the length of her, she has a heating pad, heating lamp and ultraviolet uva light, she hasn't been having issues with going to the bathroom, and she gets plenty of water (droppers work amazingly well), do you think that she may be in heat? :0

I had an iguana for five years with a heat rock. WTF is wrong with heat rocks?

WTF. Having a basking spot at a suitably high enough temperature is necessary for proper digestion... OF FOOD. Not sand. Having a heating pad isn't going to help a lizard with an intestine full of rocks.
