    Furry Poop??

    I fed Chumley 2 F/T adult mice last Tuesday. I offered him 2 again late last night but they were still there this morning so I removed them.

    When I got home from work today I noticed that he had left me a couple presents. One looked like normal snake poo, one rather large urate and then one poo that looked for lack of better terms, furry.

    My initial reaction was nervous of a partial re-gurge but it was super tiny and brown and he hasn't been handled since I last fed him, nothing in his habitat has changed so I don't think that was the issue.

    Is it normal for them not to digest the hair occasionally?

    They don't digest the hair. Every once in a while you will find a fur ball poo. Its normal

    HAHAHA! Thats totally normal. Sometimes it doesnt smell all that great either but if it was a regurge you would definately know. The smell of a regurge is similer to roadkill
