As the title says. Found it on feed day, so 5 full days after his last feed! I think it may be because he had two large pinks instead of one large one and one small. Maybe it was too much for him. Temps are fine and he wasn't handled until 3 days after his feed so I don't think that triggered it.
I'm following the advice from the regurge sticky and not feeding or handling him for 10 days, then I'll give him one small pinky. Hopefully he will be okay then.
Apollo is also worrying me because he *still* has a feeding bulge. He was fed last wednesday! One small hopper and a pinkie (because a hatchling refused it and his hopper was exceptionally little, more like a fluff). The temps are okay for his viv too. I wonder if it is something to do with the move from faun to viv? I really hope he won't regurge too. It's so weird to still see a feeding bulge but he has been sat in the cold hide every time I have seen him.
Thoughts? |

A digital thermometer is a must imho. The dial thermometers can't be trusted and the digital thermometers have a probe so you can put that just where you want to measure the temperature.
Stats are notoriously unreliable at matching the temperature on the dial with the temperature they produce (although they do hold the temperature at a level.) |

Will try for 28. The stat temp is over 28 but the thermometer thingy says 26 in the viv even though it's on the glass bottom next to the stat probe. May invest in a digital thermometer. |

Try and get the temp on the warm side up a bit to 28. 26 is on the minimum low side. |

Cornflake had a regurge today, 2 days after feeding. We were supposed to do a full viv clean today but have just removed the regurge and will leave her for 10 days. Her warm end is 26 and her cool side is 16. It's really worrying when they regurge. Will feed her a fluff in 10 days or so :0( |

Moppet, mine have been sitting on the cold side, too, but digested ok, But, last winter, at one point, I only had about 17C ambient temp, Bazil sat in the cold end and still had a huge feeding bulge after 4 days... so I ( bad Mum ) took away all of her hides, except for the warm one. After some major sulking, she went in the warm hide and digested fine. I only ever had to do that on that one occasion, as the lump was still so big, and I, too, was worried she'd regurge. I don't know if that was right or wrong, but it worked. |
