Unhappy possiblity of ingesting stones!

As I came into the room today I happened to catch my bosc swallowing something which im scared was a stone! He had dug into a patch of grass I placed in a while ago, not realizing it contained stones. This was bad husbandry on my part which I feel awful for and im now stuck on what to do!

Now there is the possibility that it could have been a worm, fruit beetle grub or even beetle if there are any left in there.

If it were a stone he had ingested would he regurgitate it or could he pass it? And are there any signs I should watch out for? Or should I take hin for an xray or leave it due to the amount of stress? I did feed him 2 mice afterwards just to be on the safe side and make sure he doesnt do it again.

Oh and hes roughly just under 2feet in size.


Here is a picture of the ones I pulled out along with a 10p coin for a rough scale ( if I can upload correctly this time)
