My male was doing the same in his humid hide. He kicked the vermiculite everywhere as if he was going to lay soon lol. Maybe he's just bored? I had to clean up after him.
BTW, i would take him off gravel also.

the male does not do the digging during egg laying. are u sure yours is a male. change the hide box around put a hole inb the lid..it won't kick vermiculite out.. i use moist peat moss in my hide boxes.. If your male is digging he is probably trying to dig himself a burrow to hide and sleep in.. just because we think something is good for the gecko doesn't mean its good enough for himself..hehe
