Impacted cleared, need help on feeding

Ok my advanced BP keepers and breeders....I have a question.

Sweety was impacted, which is now cleared, and caused prolapsing.

I have her on Hoppers (she is 77grams) and I am wondering if I keep her on hoppers until I see her passing stools or go ahead and move her up to adult mice? She has taken a hopper for two weeks now. No stools passed yet but she is passing normal eurates now.

So do I move her up or keep her on hoppers until I know she can pass stools normally?

thanks all!

I haven't dealt with this issue but my gut feeling says keep her on hoppers for a while, ie. "proceed with caution" since some prolapses return.

I'm thinking stay on hoppers too...just wanted some verification. Lol

I agree.

Yes it does seem the common sense approach to keep the food small ...

Out of interest what happened to the prolapse ... did it go back inside itself , did you have to help it back or was it a vet job ??

It has gone back in. Still a little swelling but she always pulls it back in and her vent looks normal. No stitches were needed to hold it in.

^^^ I say exactly that ^^^^

I have never dealt with that either, but I see no reason to rush things. I'd stick to the smaller prey and let her heal up. It certainly won't hurt her to play it safe.

Thanks everyone. I just love my little beeps so much.

And I promised myself I would do everything in my power to never lose another beep again!
