    If it swallows substrate, the only thing that could happen would be that he would suffer an impaction. There's no way he could get an RI, suffocate, mouth rot, or internal parasites from that. How much did he swallow?

    P.S. I'm not sure about the regurgitation. Probably not, but you never know...

    In the future, you can lay down a sheet of newspaper on top of your loose substrate and then feed in the cage as usual.

    Or you can move Marcus to a seperate feeding container.
