In nature, some species will eat their molted skin or carapace to regain lost nutrients and moisture. This is natural, and a bit gross. For the same reasons, many hatchlings will eat their eggshells after hatching. Mother birds will also eat their children’s eggshells after they hatch to replace their lost calcium.
What Pebble is doing is perfectly natural and I presume healthy for his species.
Ew.
