Chunky fruit

When I feed my igs fruit, I feed by hand in nice little bite-size chunks and make sure each goes down before feeding another. Or so I thought until the other night when I was feeding Spunks some honey dew. When I got to the last piece, I had a fleeting thought it might be too big, which should have been enough to tell me to break it in half. But no-o-o-o-o-o! I let him eat it and needless to say, his throat puffed up and his eyes rolled back in his head...talk about panic! (not to mention tons o' guilt)

I picked him up, pulled on his dewlap and turned him towards the floor, where several chunks of honey dew landed, spewed from his mouth. I was petting him and telling him how sorry I was when his throat puffed up again, and I pulled on his dewlap again, to see more chunks of honey dew in his throat, then went through the routine for him to spew them out again.

After the whole petting/apology thing again, I went to clean up the mess (yuk!) All tolled, there were 23 chunks of honey dew! I've never seen such a thing. Has anyone else?
