My new four month old tegu has eaten a small piece of bark, he has swallowed it and seem to be fine, i know that this is bio-degradable obviously, but will his digestive system manage this?

I am concerned so would be appreciative if anyone in the know could leave their views.

Cheers

Aron

If it is a small piece, he will most likely pass it - Keep an eye on him to see if he is still pooping regularly and when he does, if you care to, break up the crap and see if it's in there - I've done it icon_wink.gif

Soak him in some warm water as well - That should make him go...
