Advice needed
Hi, my new and littlest star just passed what looks like pieces of silver masking tape, which I can only assume she consumed before coming to us.
She seems well in herself and is eating like a horse! There are no outward signs of anything wrong. Is this Likley to be problem?

Thank you for confirming that, i was a little concerned in case there is any more but I guess if she passed this, she could pass the rest. Will keep extra close eye on her.
Going to get a health check for both as soon as wormcount send the results of test back, just to be on the safe side.

Just for piece of mind while your at the vet, you might want to get her x-rayed. That way you'd know whether anything else was in there still.

Thanx Danny. I might get both torts x-rayed at a health check for base line info, checking for eggs ect before they meet Dandy. Any ideas aprox what age they could be?
Big 1 is: 165mm slc & 865g Little 1 is: 114mm slc & 320g

Always hard to tell age, but the biggest female is an adult and big enough to lay eggs.

I have no idea how she came to eat it, it happened before we got her. Wish it didn't cost so much to get X-rays done ah well they are worth it
