    Regurged

    Alright, so I fed my Sav a large silkworm ( After he started on it I realized it was too big) so I picked him up after and he regurged it right away. He didnt chew( which is when I noticed) and the silkworm in question is still alive, I thought it was dead at first because he did chomp down hard on it when he got it but that was it. Will he be ok? He ate alot of crickets befor and none of them came up so im not even sure if he swollowed it all the way.

    Alright, thanks

    I feel like an idiot for offering a silkworm so big now, but we learn from our mistakes I guess!

    I don't know if I'd call it a regurge - it sounds like he didn't get it positioned right and hacked it back up. When I think regurge I picture him totally swallowing it, beginning to go through digestion and then "vomiting" it back up.

    My ackies will do the same thing if they don't squish a cricket or roach down just right or if they don't subdue an insect before trying to swallow it - they'll get it stuck in their gullet and just kind of "gag" it back up.
