Help. Blue tongue ate a little bit of pete moss

Postby robocop » Wed Aug 05, 2015 8:52 pm

I was putting my blue tongues feeding dish in his aquarium today and a piece of carrot fell out. Before i could grab it he tried to eat it along with a tiny bit of his peat moss bedding. He spit the carrot out but i think he may have ingested some of the bedding that was on it. Do they sometimes do this? Im really worried about him. Thanks.

heard stories of them passing chunks of cypress.. a little peat moss shouldn't hurt.
