Regurge 5 days later?

Thanks, I got a replacement for the log with one hole in and out. It has been hard for me to place a hide right over the basking spot because the tank is so small. I would have been better off with a 20 gal but so many suggestions were saying a large inclusure can stress a little ball out, it sure can be frustrating. She definitely likes to hide in the tree as well so I will place this new hide right over the warm spot and adjust it down closer to 90. I will also wait until the 23rd to feed again. Thanks for the feedback!

Just wanted to check up on this thread. How is your daughter's BP doing? Taking meals fine? Any other issues? Out of curiosity, how big was your baby ball? I'm actually having a very similar issue and would like to learn how it panned out after your BP's regurge.

My smallest BP is 79grams and has regurged 4 days after her meal. I'm very concerned especially since she's small. Have not taken a pic, but must agree with your description. It looked like a shriveled outline of a rat pup.

As for husbandry, her hot spot is at 90 degrees while the cool side is 78. The room is consistently at 76 degrees. Her humidity is around 50%. Belly heat flexwatt. She's in a rack in a V18 tub on newspaper. She has taken a meal 10/22 and 10/25. She pooped and peed 10/27. She then pooped and regurged 10/29.

My boyfriend went ahead and put some crumpled up newspaper in there to make her feel more secure. We are now taking precautions to leave her alone and not attempt to feed until 11/12. We are confident that her husbandry was spot on. However, I must add that she was handled 26 hours after feeding. This is the only thing I can think of that may have stressed her out and I feel horrible. :/ I thought that 24 hours would have sufficed. All feedback is sincerely appreciated.

I'm happy to report that she is doing quite well, I don't have a scale yet but I plan to pick one up on next payday. I waited the ten days and fixed my substrate (it was way too deep) and figured out a better way to keep in the humidity. She just shed for us last week and she is taking her mice every 5 days without hesitation. I hope to switch her to rats soon. I have also started giving her 3 days before handling her just to make sure she is digesting well. Hope your little one gets back on track for you as well!
