I bought a new plant today and there must have been a pebble or two stuck in the roots, even after I cleaned it. I caught her munching on something (wasn't food or poop ) I keep reading how bad that is for them, should I take her to the vet tomorrow?

Are you positive it was a pebble and not a snail or chunk of root? Depending on the pebble's size, it should pass through pretty easily, just try to catch it when it comes out! If she doesn't poo for a few days, then you might want to take her to a vet. But the concern with gravel isn't usually the one or two that get munched on, it's more when they eat a bunch of them causing a blockage.

You can always take her to the vet, but I think she'll be fine for now.

Thank you I guess it could have been a root, though she kept choping like it was hard. Unfortunatly I did witness a poop (why does she always have to poop while I'm watching) so I guess that is alright?

Thanks again
