Hello, we went to the desert this weekend and brought back some sand for our Sulcata's enclosure. I figured it would be a good natural change. We put the Sulcata in the enclosure with the sand and after about 5 minutes, it ate a small pebble "about half the size of a cherry pit". Our Sulcata is pretty young "weighing about 270 grams", so I am wondering if this is normal and I should be concerned? We put it back in the old enclosure, but I am worried about it digestion system, etc. Please let me know any feedback!

Thank you for your help!

Kerry
