No I dont feed the birds at all I dont encourage them into the garden due to contamination etc.

I only feed weeds, flowers and the occasional bag of florette crispy. The garden is checked on a daily basis for debris. I honestly have no idea what this is.

Ive just been out and checked her, she has ate all her food and warming up. Looks fit and healthy, the stitches are still intact. Im now beginning to wonder did this come from Terri at all or has a bird flew past and dropped it in the bowl, I cannot imagine her being able to swallow this whole never mind pass it out.

Its really weird looking.

Could it be something that was sewn into the Tortoise to support the prolapse as I believe that in humans they sometimes use a ring type thing???
Grasping at straws now!

I know that chickens can sometimes pass a part of their ovary or intestinal tissue, but what you have there looks too big for something like that from a tortoise. All I can suggest is getting in touch with the vets and asking them if they can identify it.

Well Terri continues to do really well now. She is still eating really well. I have been giving her baths every day and she had very little poos but yesterday we had a hell of a rain storm and Terri decided to sit outside in it, and she eventually passed proper feces waheyyyyyyyyyyyy, looks like the rain helped
