Yes, bearded dragons can eat their own eggs. This behavior, known as egg cannibalism, can occur for several reasons. One possible reason is that the female bearded dragon may not have enough nutrients in her diet to produce healthy eggs. In this case, she may consume her own eggs to regain some of those nutrients. Another reason could be stress or overcrowding in their enclosure, which can lead to abnormal behaviors such as egg cannibalism. It is important for owners to provide a proper diet and a stress-free environment to minimize the chances of this behavior occurring.
