Peanut shell?

[Skunkworks]

Since it's been a really Hot here in the PNW I've been taking Nala out daily to Soak up the Heat and Eat. I noticed she ate a tiny piece of Peanut shell ( unsalted) about the size of 3 popcorn kernels. I feed the Squirrels and forgot to rake up the shells.Is there any Harm in Eating a piece of Peanut shell?

Probably ok. I wouldn't feed it to them on a regular basis, but I doubt a bite or two is going to hurt anything. Just give the tortoise nice, long soaks for a few days to help things move through.

Lots of fiber & natural. I’m sure tortoises eat many many things that no one ever notices - odd leaves, an acorn, tree seedlings that blow about. I’m sure a bit of peanut shell is perfectly fine.
