    Uh oh! Meal too big??!

    So I was feeding all of my babies (err...well they're not all babies, but they're MY babies ) Tuesday and I bought 2 crawlers, 1 small and one medium accordingly for their sizes.

    Well, I was feeding live and had brought them home in a tub and so I set the tub down to do a couple things before I started feeding....

    Well...my boyfriend got gung-ho about it and fed them for me....

    I come in and my 260 gram little girl is swallowing the small rat instead of the crawler!!!

    EEKKK!!

    I started freakin out and have kept an eye on her and she seems ok but holy moly she's HUGE .... I'm worried that was too big of a meal for her.

    As long as she's acting fine should I be worried or not?

    I would say as long as she doesn't regurge ur ok. I would think with a meal too big she might not eat the next meal though....but I might be wrong.

    If she has a problem with it, she'll regurgitate it. Just make sure your belly heat is where it's supposed to be, and give her a little extra time to digest the entire thing.

    I would give her a smaller meal next time though.

    She should be fine. Give her a smaller, or no meal next week. (See how long she takes to digest)

    Keep a leash on that man! Hehe, good luck.
