I never learn
Left Jack alone for one minute and he seems to have eaten a small mouse bone I had cleaned from an owl pellet. All I can find on the floor are little shards so if he did indeed eat it he must have crumbled it up a little at least.
Given that birds eat cuttlefish bones and grit, do I need to do anything other than monitor him and assume it will be digested? It was cleaned with hydrogen peroxide and thoroughly rinsed with hot water, plus the owl pellet it came in was treated for bacteria.
