In Reply to: Regurgitation question... posted by Marwhal on January 23, 2003 at 23:40:13:
:One of my most recent purchases, I've had her for about a month now, is having problems. She refused food for a while but now has a very healthy feeding response. The problem is she has gurged everything she has eaten. She has had four mice and never pooped. She arrived in great health but is now losing weight. She has gurged twice now. I blamed the first one on a bad shed but this second one I can find no reason for. I've decided to stop feeding for a while. My question is, how long should I wait. I've heard that if you continue regiular feedings it can cause a chronic problem. I'm thinking of waiting two weeks. Is this too long or not long enough? Note: she is still healthy looking, just not as much as when ashe first got here. Thanks.
Wait about 2 weeks and then try feeding again.If she regurges then a vet trip is in order.From what i understand a regurge problem usually means parasites.Too big of a prey item can also cause regurge.Also handling too soon after eating. Hope that helps Regards Bill Mcleod
