Fuzzy Stuck?

[BadMojo]

A picture would help us. Also, I would suggest bumping her hot side to 91-93 degrees F. 86 is just too cold for a hot spot IMO.

And Fuzzy what? Mice or Rats? Either way, I think you are feeding her too small of a rodent. Feed her a pray item that is the thickest part of her body, maybe even a bit bigger. Even better, feed her 10-15% of her weight every feeding. (ex., if she is 500 grams, feed her a 65ish gram rodent.)

Keep us updated.

Misty is on fuzzy mice and they actually are about the size of the thickest part of her body. The feeding itself isn't so much the concern, it's whether anyone has ever had an issue with feeding during shedding such that, because the skin hasn't really split and started to pull off, the mouse seemingly gets stuck. She snagged it perfectly, right on the head, and took it straight instead of sideways. But, again, it just seems to be sitting there at the top part of her body, about 1/2 way down her trachea but not to her stomach yet (at least, as of this morning when I checked before leaving for work). Again, we're going on the 2nd day like this.

BTW, I do agree about the hotspot. The problem is logistical. We have the humidifier on the hotspot side so the mist cools it down a bit. We'll probably move the humidifier to the other side to alleviate.
