Found Henry nibbling on a chilli

gemzyfish · 17-01-2010, 07:01 PM

Hi Guys,

I feel terrible and im panicking. I let Henry have a little roam around my living room to stretch his legs (cant wait til the weather warms up) and always keep a close eye on him, but after a few minutes heard a *crunch* and found him nibbling on a chilli! I have no idea how the chilli got there, but i am just worrying about him now. He only had one bite. Do you think this will be ok?

I understand this is a very random question, i guess i just need to put my mind at rest. He seems fine at the moment.

Again sorry for the randomness (and carelessness on my part

)

I'm sure there's been a similar thread on here before and the tort was fine, may sting a little coming out the other end though! Its not the best thing for them to eat but there's a lot worse things they could munch on, don't worry I'm sure he'll be fine, they're sturdy little things and very curious!

In alot of chillies the worst of the heat is in the seeds and membranes so hopefully he didn't eat too much
