The Oscar dude

Hi all I was wondering if anyone can shed some light on Oscars ( my 6 month old Yemeni male ) digging down in the substrate, we have noticed that while he doesn’t mind being handled ( virtually daily for a couple of minutes as a health check )we think it is ploy by him to escape as if we open his door to do a bit of cage maintenance he is off out trying to get on to the plant next to his viv, also he seems to be looking out of the window next to the plant and searching all over the mesh mostly in that area.
Now he is digging deep in the planted strata, it does not seem to bother him but my question is is he hunting the custodians( large tropical wood lice and small blue )
Or is he trying to dig his way out or is he looking for possible females as he is getting that age now I have been told.
