| | Regular Member | Join Date: Apr-08 Location: geelong Age/Gender: 42 | | | | didnt know why but a quick search on"digging beardies" says its normal behaviour and nothing to worry about. Maybe check your temps in case its a bit too warm and she's trying to cool down but she's prob just found a fun way to pass the time. |
