Need some answers please

This week was my spring break and I left my snake with a trusted friend. About a week before I left I offered him live prey. He wouldn't take it, so I tried every day that week, I also tried during the night and early in the morning, because some people told me to try that. It still didn't work so I decided that when I got back in another week he would surely be hungery. Well yesterday my friend called to ask how I was doing and I said good and quickley asked how my snake was doing. She said oh fine but he keeps pacing back and forth in his cage, I knew he was probably just "hunting." so I didn't panic then she told me that he had also been going through his substrate and eating anything clumpy. Now that I didn't know what to think I asked my brother what he thought because he has geckos and I was desperate. He said that his last gecko was very sick and before he died that is what he did. So now I'm a very worried. My best guess was that he was extremely hungery or he was going to die so I went for the hungery one since I wasn't able to do anything else. My friend offered him prey and he took it, it still took him sone time but he ate it.

I am relieved that he are but am a little scared about him eating the substrate. Please tell me anything you know. It would be greatly apreciated. I will let you know how he is.

P.S.
He is a bp around 1 1/2years
The substrate I use is coconut husk
And I am heading home today
