So, I've had my 6 year old, 12 inch (shell length), Sulcata for about a week and a half now. I found the marble sized object in his poop yesterday. It doesn't seem very heavy, not the density of a marble, but still very hard. The people at the pet store where I rescued him from let him roam around the store. I've watched him very closely in the yard, and he sleeps inside in his tortoise table. Could this have stayed in his gut or intestines since being at the pet store, or do I need to tell the neighbors to not throw stuff in my yard? Or, better yet, do I have a magical pearl producing tortoise?
Seriously though, I want what is best for my tort, and finding this in his poop made me freak out a little bit.
