What is wrong with my bearded dragon?

• What is wrong with my 1 year old bearded dragon? She is about 1 year old and she is RESTLESS!!! She is not eating and she is not acting normal. It seems like she is pregnant. She is so young though! She has only been with my male bearded dragon (age 1.5) 2 times while eating and in the bath. Please help thanks.

• Answer:

  If you see like little balls in her belly, then make her a lay box. What i do, is get a large tote, fill it with sand, make sure the sand has enough water in it to make the sand stick together like when you make a sand castle. Our lay box is about half full of sand. On one end start her alittle hole, put a heat lamp over top of it, and put her in it. If she is ready to lay, and by your explanation, then she is, she will go to that hole and start digging in it. Dont take her back out until she has barried her hole to where you can barely tell she has laid any eggs. If she is not ready, and she wont dig, then take her back out after about 30 min. or so, then put her back in the next day. If you wait too long, and dont let her lay her eggs, she will egg-bind and it can kill her. Hope this helps. Also, a female beardie can lay eggs, even though she has not done the nasty.
