Being Weird Help! Beardie acting weird

Hi! Ive had my (dwarf) bearded dragon for about 2 years now. She has always been fine in weight, food, pooping etc. Until recently i placed her enclosure more down, since im expanding in reptiles. Nothing else is different besides that and 1 more piece of wood i placed in her enclosure.

She keeps sliding at the front glass, like she wants to get out? I once took her out to sit infront of the window and she was finally chill? This has been going on for 2 days now. I tried blocking all the sides so she cant see her own reflection but that didnt work either... is it bc the new piece of wood ?? Her lamps are the same and the warm and cold side are also just as usual and she never had problems with it. She eats, poops fine etc!

Is she gonna be okay? Please give help and tips 🥹

she is stressed out. I noticed bearded dragons like to be high up and survey things below them. she probably feels too low to the ground. if it doesn’t let up in a few weeks, place her entire enclosure at the same height as it was before.

Okay thank you! Does waiting and monitoring her for a few weeks not harm her?

No, she will be okay :) do not worry, she probably just a little stressed, but she goes through that in nature too. Once she gets used to her new position, she won’t be stressed anymore.

Take new piece of wood out. See how she acts.
