Ok... couple of questions. Squeezer went for a mouse tonight, and when he constricted the guts blew out of it. It was pretty gnarly, but what concerned me was the aspen bedding getting stuck on the innards. I did my best to pick off the shavings as he was eating, but he definitely did not want to let go. Luckily he was trying to eat it backwards so when he spit it out to re-grip I snatched it away... I will try again in a couple of days. 2 questions how terrible would it have been if he swallowed some of the aspen, and how bad is it to swallow backwards?

I know newspaper or paper towels would be better but everybody sees the viv... and I'd like it to look as nice as possible while being safe.
