When I let my star torts out.... They look for dirt, sand or small rocks to eat.
I usually make sure none of this is available.. However sometimes they manage to get some dirt in anyway. I know a minimal amount may be good for digestion, ps. They poop daily. But today one just swallowed a small piece of stone!! It's huge to him as I tried to take it out of his mouth but he refused and swallowed it whole!!!! argh.
I'm a bit worried. It's quite big for a little guy. And I just can't understand why both of them want dirt so much.
Their substrate is orchid bark and there is no dirt in the enclosure.
Just in the garden where they roam.
Any help?? Thanks a bunch!
