Hi all,
Herbie and I live in the UK and am getting him ready for the garden because it's starting to warm up over here. Thing is, whenever he goes out the ALWAYS tries to eat stones, big , small, doesn't matter he tries to swallow. Am worried sick and watch him constantly picking the stones out when he tries to gulp them down. Mostly, he grazes on the grass but he's usually straight to the soil border digging and picking up things with his mouth and 9 times out of 10 they he tries to get it down his gullet! He has a cuttle bone which he uses and mineral supplement on his food but it's more about me wanting him to enjoy his time outside without me worrying he's going to choke every 5 minutes! Does anyone else have the same problem? How do you all cope with yours in the US as they seem to be in the garden all the time?
Many thanks
Helen
