Bearded Dragon Egg

My bearded dragon Thorn is a two year old female. She is currently laying eggs (infertile) for the third time. No issues with the eggs whatsoever. The problem, in short, is that she's digging so much that she has almost no nails left.
Thorn has been digging in her enclosure for about two weeks now, and her nails have been filed down to the point that I can't even see them on most of her toes. Also, the scales are now being filed down and appear blackish grey. There's no irritation, and no bleeding. She's acting 100% normal. For substrate, she has about a half inch, (soon to be much more) of sand. Below that, it's just the wood bottom of the tank.
I want to know if anyone else has experienced this or has advice. I can take a picture of her feet if needed.
