Hello All!
My 6 month old marginated tortoise likes to dig around in his repti back and his head gets in there quite deep. I assume he is just curious and digging around because that's what they do. Maybe even having a bit fun. But I guess he has been eating some because I recently found some of the repti bark in his poop..
He is quite active and has a solid appetite.
He likes to drink his water and we give him 15-20 min soaks every other day. He has a varied diet of weeds and organic spring mix with some multi vitamins once or twice a week, so I'm not sure if he is lacking something that the bark might give him.
My question is, should I be concerned that he eats reptibark once in a while? Does it damage his insides as it passes through?
Thank you all in advance!
