I wasn't paying attention and my Darwin (14 pound sulcata) got a hold of a styrofoam cup and ate half of it before I noticed. How bad is this gonna be? Can she pass it? I'm FrEaKiNg out!

He'll pass it ok. Just make sure he has access to water anytime he wants it.

Thank you Yvonne! This has been the first breath I have taken since I made the post. She has water available at all times. I have already raised my kids and now I find myself worrying over every little thing like I did with them. I so need an adult beverage right now! lol

I remember reading about Frankie the sulcata eating a sock, it eventually passed.
I found the need to comment here because its funny, the other day my cat ate through a Styrofoam container for a tater-tot... what is with that magical white foam that looks so yummy to animals!?
