I tried making an outdoor garden area for my tortoise to roam around in for a few hours a day, but it turns out the soil I bought had some tiny little pebbles in it. My tortoise will go for these pebbles as soon as he sees them and then sniff them and try to eat them. He swallowed one once and I haven't let him back out there since. He is only 6 months old so even little pebbles are quite big for him/her to swallow. I plan on trying to buy some soil without pebbles, but I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem because I see lots of posts on here with tortoises in outdoor enclosures that have rocks in them. Thanks.
