Hi,
We recently adopted a bearded dragon, full detail on the set up here: New Beardie Owner Here - Have Questions :) | Introductions | Bearded Dragon .org
The previous owner had a bioactive set up. It has many elements, but for the sake of relevance it has bugs and some charcoal pieces strewn throughout.
We're in the process of converting the tank over to tile. We just got all the tile pieces cut to size and are switching it out this weekend... but she ate a rock in the meantime. A bug crawled out from underneath and she misfired and got a piece of charcoal rock instead. I ran over to try and pull it out of her mouth but it was too late.
Should we be panicked and what are best next steps? It's hard to say the size of the piece of charcoal as I only got the tail end of the event. However, it was pretty crunchy - which is what called my attention, which makes me hope it was thin enough for her to chew.
It's worth noting we are switching her to tile, because I didn't want to have to worry about this type of scenario to begin with.
