With grazing and grassy diets; there is one side effect......known to star trek fans as klingons; or if you are a fan of rock band; the Danglers. Grass often comes out relatively unchanged from when it went in. The stool has been passed; but there is grass still inside. I was doing a enclosure clean up and saw one of his yard burritos. So I grabbed it; but it was grass attached; and although it came out easy enough; my tortoise did not react well. I have never before or since seen him move that fast; kicking up substrate all the way. Now I just allow him to drag around his new brown tail till it catches on something; or comes out on it's own. I was worried that manual extraction might actually scratch some soft tissue on the inside.IMG_3206 (2).JPG IMG_3208 (2).JPG
