Oh my, I'm in the club! I was about to post a thread about this one too. lol
Earlier today, I let Fred outside to explore a little bit while I ate lunch and watched over him. I go to the fridge, wash some dishes, look outside and he's gnawing on a twig!!! I'm like "Fred, no!!!". He looks at me like I'm crazy and that the stick actually tasted good.
He hasn't pooped it out. I don't know if he's just gnawing at it or if he's eating it or a little bit of both.
