Running around the cage could just mean an active animal. Is she trying to dig?

Bearded dragons can store sperm, so if she is digging alot, I suggest putting her in a egg laying box to see if that is what she is looking for. Also, dragons can produce eggs even if they have never seen a male at all during their lives. In this case the eggs would be infertile.
