It should also be noted that the tortoise house was made from a box that been sent to mrs wifey full of poop from a friend in the USA.

Crikey !
A member's tortoise has swallowed a peach stone and all and sundry are saying it will probably be okay.
Do I tell them that, according to the Tortoise Table, peach stones contain cyanide or just shut up for once ?
So does AZ water and apple seeds ! So how much cyanide is the important question?

Nobody about.
Grandpa seems to have gone, Tom has gone too, after I thought he'd taken a peek at this. :(
The member has still not returned to look at his replies.
So probably a bit late now, anyway.
I think I'll leave it for now.

I saw this on the BBC and thought you should see it:

Lancashire man poisoned after eating cherry seeds - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-lancashire-40738573
The thing is he cracked them and ate the kernel. We regularly eat cherries and spit the pip out. Cyanide clearly doesn't pass through the shell of the pip as the fruit would be poisonous if it did.

I think the same would apply to a peach stone. That said, a peach stone is pretty enormous. There aren't many species that could eat one whole! It was either a large tortoise or a small peach (apricot?)
