Ingested Cherry Pit - concerned

[mellemel]

Hi this is my first time posting to this forum -- My 9" long Greek tortoise just swallowed a cherry pit. I'm worried it will get stuck in his system and cause damage. Would love input from this community on what to do next or what to watch out for.

Thank you!!

At 9 inches you're probably fine. Watch for a lack of bowel movements, but honestly, I've had smaller redfoots pass rocks 3x the size of a cherry pit without issue.

Usually if it's able to be swallowed, it will pass. I would keep a close eye on making sure he keeps eating, pooping and I would give him daily warm water soaks for about a week
