he ate plastic...

bluetail10 Jan 17, 2008 04:51 PM

I'm at school so my dad has been feeding my monitor. He said when he was feeding him tuesday before he could get the ground chicken out of the plastic bag (we freeze balls of chicken in individual wraps) my bluetailed ran over and grabbed the bag and meat. (Hes almost grabbed me with mice before he runs over quick) My dad said he was able to get most of the plastic but the monitor ended up eating a little bit of it... Would he have passed it by now? Is there anything that can be done? I didnt find out until now and just want to know if there is still any potential harm.

Thank you and sorry for the long post

I'm not a vet, but I'd think he'd pass flexible plastic like that. Sounds like a good feeding response! Just monitor his shi#@ting. I wouldn't worry about it, personally.
