he finally ate! (after regurge)

good news... valentino ate! i warmed his pinkie up really well and put it into his little feeding cup... placed it into his enclosure and he eagerly took it down. :)

keep you fingers crossed with me that he keeps this one down!!!

valentino is a bloodred corn who regurged apr 12th and this is the first pink he was willing to take since his regurge!!!

Good job!! glad to hear...i know how ya feel....I've had similar problems with two of my little ones, my little Percy had to be forcefed his first five meals..(ugh!)...when he finally strted eating on his own, he would regurg/spit out the prey if i interupted him swallowing a meal...even if it was just to peek!!! He eats ok by himself now, not nearly as sporadic, with no regurg. but I have to leave him alone now for at least an hour or so with a food item, otherwise he will refuse or spit it out. Poor little guy is over seven months old and still doesn't even weigh 150 grams!!!! I think he'll eventually reach a point where he'll be poundin' em' down and grow well for me. i think the key is persistance....;)

Congrats and good luck :)

Sweet relief!! I'm glad to hear he's back on track. :sweeet:

Oh crossing all my crossable stuff that Valentino keeps this meal down and better days are ahead for him as far as this issue of regurging. Let us know how it goes.

i will i will. i'm not going near his encl. i'll smell it if he does regurge (i have the best 'smeller' on the planet) but i don't want to stress him out at all!

I hope you and your little one the best.Keep us posted on how he is doing

well it's been abou 30 hours now :D:D:D:D and no regurge :)

two successful feedings and complete digestion :) ohhh yaaaaaa :D:D:D

Happy dance! :banana:

ya... i think we are out of the woods now :)

oh ya... another good feed today... and he even stayed in his feeding cup and wouldn't leave until i gave him another pinkie... which he took down before it hit the cup LOL

so i'm very very very very pleased :)
