Hoehnelii ate styrofoam!

[Hamza2006]

I need help!
I took my female Trioceros hoehnelii outside for some sunlight and she bit a piece of styrofoam which I pulled out off her mouth.
Unfortunately she swallowed a tiny fraction.
She seems fine and is acting normal but I'm still worried.
Also, she only eats large insects and she ignores anything small.
Should I worry?

Just keep an eye on her to make sure she's pooping. You want to make sure the styrofoam has passed through her.

All depends on how large the foam was. If it’s small enough, it will pass. If it’s larger than any part of her digestive track it will impact her which could be fatal. Just keep a close eye and ensure she doesn’t nosedive.

If she stops eating that is the first obvious sign of a problem.

It was quite small.
About 1-3 millimetres.
Is that ok?

Thanks for the advice. She managed to poop the styrofoam out.

Glad it worked itself out in the end. This too shall pass.
Pardon the puns just glad your little girl is OK.
