Please help!

Pebble has been having a whale of a time the last few days. He's had the run of the entire garden, not just his enclosure, and he's loved it. In the past it seems he has always avoided eating anything that he shouldn't so I've not fretted about him.

BUT...

yesterday he was in his enclosure - where I've only planted edible plants and weeds - and what I'm sure is a poppy has started to grow in there. I spotted it and pulled it up but not before noticing that he has munched a bit of one leaf. There are only a couple of bites out of it but should I worry.

Having trawled for threads on here, I bathed him last night and he's in there again now. He was a bit listless but he had a rude awakening and was shoved straight in the bath! He has pooped and weed.

Foodwise - do I go with the cucumber/lettuce/high water content foods to flush his system through?

PS He's a 2 year old Hermanns.
