Bearded dragon questions

Question
My 4 month old bearded dragon has recently started digging a hole in his/her shelter rock. Is this normal? Also he/she pases around the incloser by the glass back and forth sometimes trying to climb up the glass? It has a basking rock as well as a climbing branch to be on. What are your thoughts?

Answer
Hello Kimberly,

They do like to dig & climb so that is normal.  However, if you are in a colder climate, he might be trying to brumate.  I would take his hide/cave out during the day as he is too young to brumate right now.
What type & brand of UVB light do you use, a fluorescent tube bulb or a compact/coil light?  How close is it to him?  What type of basking light are you using, a bright white light or a colored light?  
What are the temperatures in the tank, & what type of thermometer are you using?  A stick on type, a digital probe or a temp gun?
