CLover Decided to swallow a pebble that somehow got into her tank! :shock:

She did a few days ago, I was waiting to see if it would pass. The tank is up pretty high, so i couldn't get to her fast enough. What can I do to help her pass it? Thank you all!

You can try pumpkin to get things moving. Just make sure it's unseasoned. Then just wait. Some turtles have pooped out gravel months after the gravel was removed from their tank.

Regular canned pumpkin is fine. Try mixing tuna juice in it.

How big was the pebble? Was it the size of her poop? When there's a race to net something out of the tank, I find it easier to distract the turtle and take him/her out first.

Do you remember how big it was? It should pass if its small but if its big then keep a close eye on her.
