Don't know how this would work in an adult....but it has been noted that hatchlings "dine" on adult matter and it is believed it is how they sort of jumpstart their system. Our Lightning is a a little bit more than a year older than Thunder. One of the first things he did as a baby was go over and eat some of her poop. Gross! But I didn't freak because I knew that it was done in the wild.

I'd only be real concerned should you think she might have parasites and then she'd just be "recycling" them. (Even grosser thought *grin*)

So does Tre play "Rock-a-bye baby" *grin*
