    Please help! BRB problem?

    I found something very odd in my BRB's water dish a few minutes ago. I'm extremely worried. I don't know if it's a regurge or what! I last fed her about five days ago. I had to take her out for a full cage cleaning yesterday because I noticed some "life" growing on her hide and thought it would be best to take out all of the bedding to make sure it was safe for her. She's deep in shed right now and I really didn't want to mess with her, but I didn't see any other choices. She acted like her usual self last night... The water dish is being deep cleaned and I looked her over to see if anything was obviously wrong, but she looks fine. I also weighed her and she's 121 grams. I have to check my records for her previous weight. What's going on? What do I do? Is this a regurge?

    If it smelled disgusting it was probably regurge.

    I've found that real wood decorations just don't do well in BRB enclosures, they mold very quickly due to the high humidity. Cypress mulch + plastic hides and fake plastic plants is the way to go.

    Well, the thing is my nose was a little plugged up from being around horses all day (allergy), and the fact that it was in water really didn't help things... should I just give her some time off from eating to be safe?

    It wouldn't hurt to wait a few weeks before feeding again.

    Two weeks from the date of the regurge, and offer a size down from the normal size feeder.

    So if that was a fuzzy mouse then offer a pinky. If the pinky stays down then offer another one a week later, and if all goes well then go back to the mouse fuzzy the week after that.

    Alright. You don't happen to know if Petco has pinky mice, do you?
