Corn regurge question

Would a young corn regurge a meal that was too big?? I ask because my little 6 month old tossed her meal back after being fed Thursday. I had a feeling that fuzzy was a bit big, and knew it was once I saw her swallowing it...but then it was too late of course. :(

She seems pretty bright and alert still, so I hope nothing bad came of it. I normally feed her every 4-5 days, but am going to wait a full week this time before offering her a pinky instead. Should I wait longer?

Yes, I once fed my corn a mouse that was too big for him, and he regurged it. Never had a problem when mouse was sized correctly. He bounced back perfectly though.

I think a week, might be short, two wouldnt hurt.

If you feed to soon, you can cause a lot of damage, so my opinion would be to be a little safer and wait two.

Hi,

I was trying to find a direct link to Kathy Love's faq on regurge but it seems ot be eluding me - but it is reproduced about a third of the way down this web page.

Hope this helps the lil fella recover ok.

Ok, will do. And thanks for the web page, Del... that was informative. :)

She seems pretty bright and alert, with her nose at the door of her hide, so I have good hopes for her. My only concern is that she regurged twice in a row and I didn't notice the first one because it was partially digested and looked like poo...till I saw the tail. And that was noticed AFTER I had offered her the second meal only 5 days later... So yeah, I will wait a full two weeks to let her system rebuild and recover.

Well, live and learn. I had a feeling that darn fuzzy was too big...
