    Feeding after the move
    So our moving date keep getting pushed back (grr) and now it falls on Lucy's next feeding day. Should I wait for a few days after getting her set back up in her tank before trying to feed her?

    I don't mind wasting a rat if she doesn't eat, I just don't want to risk her being too stressed from the move and regurgitating.

    Just wait a few days, it won't hurt a thing. Snakes in the wild sure don't eat on schedules, & some variation is actually more natural.
    Why risk either one? (wasting a feeder OR the chance of a regurge)

    Skip the feeding on moving day and offer on her next normal feeding day. Missing a meal doesn't hurt them; it's not like the perfect-sized meal wanders up regularly in the wild.

    Fair enough. I'm such a helicopter snarent, I worry over everything. [emoji28]
