  Oh! So it was YOU that taught him! LOL JK! I dont think its anything to worry too much about, but like you I am worried about thier digestive system. Eatting sticks and twigs can't feel good going in or comming out

. I think pencils are pretty non toxic for the most part now days but if you notice a diference I would call the vet. Lead poisoning is nothing to fool around with, but do we even use real lead in our pencils? For some reason I remember reading lead was not used anymore? I wonder what they have aginst erasers! I think my two would have eaten that too!
