hm, perhaps 😂 i usually let her soak before roaming, so maybe it came from before?
Yeah it can take a long time to pass through, so long as she doesn’t have access to a load of small stones/gravel, if she happens to find the odd tiny one and eats it, it should just pass through lol

If she ate the stone it could be 1-2 weeks ago. Soaking in warm water helps them to pass things like this.

And, yes, nopales like aloe and other succulents is a natural laxative. Don't overdo it :)

Once-twice a week, I guess is safe. Or mix a little daily on hot dry days or when she's eating but you haven't seen her poop in a while. It's a nice amendment for hydration, "enhancing" low-calcium foods and so on.
