So a few weeks back I changed to eco-earth/sand substrate. My torts love it, however I occasionally see a piece of the eco-earth hanging out of their mouth and it looks like they tried to eat it. I will go to pull it out of their mouth and I will pull out a long string, almost all the way from their stomach it seems. I don't know if this is causing damage to them or not, or if I am overreacting. They are still pooping normal, actually pooping more but healthily. Should I be concerned? They have a very healthy appetite, so am I not feeding them enough?
I think this mostly happens if they are trying to eat their poop, because the substrate sticks to their poo. I'm not sure.
