my beardie keeps trying to get out =\

I have two girls together and they seem fine with the company. They don't need to compete for food or basking spots. But only one seems content to bask or sleep all day long, the other tries climbing the glass doors whenever I'm near by. But I know she's a pig and she associates me with food as I am their feeder. She will go even more nuts if she sees the cricket container come out cos she knows what's in it. I actually let them both out last night in my reptile room and let a few crickets out. They loved chasing them around the bigger room. Then after eating a bit they went back into the enclosure and relaxed a bit. So maybe getting out of their enclosure for something different is good for them.

My beardy has suddenly started acting really funny too.
She was starting to colour right up the last few months and eating really well and all the rest, but the last week or two she has just been hiding in a fake bush in the tank.
I fill her food bowl with vegies before I go to work and she eats a little bit, but her appetite has slowed down and she has gone really dark coloured and is just hiding all the time. Almost like she is sulking.

Could be the heat
Check ur temps at the hottest part of the day
If they are ok (under 40 at the hottest spot) go see ur vet and dont forget to take a fresh stool sample with u

I really wouldn't worry to much. I have two together a male and a female. My male trys climbing the walls and glass alot. My females not doing it at all. They r both happy to come out and play but if they see there enclosure they r very keen to go home.

Just try your best to make the lizard comfortable and stimulated, such as letting it out of its cage regularly (like every second day, for at least half an hour). No matter how large a cage you provide and how in tune you are with its needs, reptiles of most types will attempt to escape the confines of their enclosures. This is normal and unfortunate, because as reptile enthusiasts we enjoy keeping them and looking after them and wish to see them happy, but in reality many specimens born in captivity still want to climb out of a cage and disappear. Having been to many zoos and seen how elaborate and huge some cages can be (more space than the average herper can provide), a lizard or snake even in these conditions will come up against the glass and try to find a way past it. Again just do your best to provide the specimen some enrichment
