    I would just skip it. You wouldn't want to come home to a 7 day old regurge!

    i agree with the others skip this time. would hate to see you post up that it regurged and died, or got an infection, belly rot, etc from her sitting in a nasty tub for a few days.

    Thanks. I will skip it. I guess I just wasn't sure what to worry about first, the possie poop, or keeping her feeding routine so I can avoid her going off food since I have he eating for a couple feeds in a row.

    What would cause a regurge? That has been mentioned a couple times now.

    Also should I feed every 5 days or every 7 at 8 months old? I figured every 7 should be fine but I am open to other opinions. I can keep a schedule if 5 days is healthier.

    Thanks again everyone.

    5-7 is a fine enough schedule. i feed mine currently, about every 4-5 days myself. they will let you know if they want it or not. if they refuse a few in a row, i hold off for a week or 2 before offering anything more. generally they got a mondo turd that needs to pass, or are about to shed.

    A regurge can be caused by a few things. Temp spike or drop, stress, etc.
