    Question about eating.

    My little guy ate his mouse rear end first yesterday and regurgitated it a few hours later. I'm trying not to completely freak out. He has never done this before. Advice welcomed. He eats a hopper mouse weekly with no other problems. We also wait to handle him for about 48 hrs after he eats.

    It happens sometimes... Wait 2 weeks before feeding again and use smaller prey the next couple times.

    Make sure husbandry is correct. Hot spots not warm enough can cause this.

    As noted, it happens. Usually just eating them backwards isn't the cause, though. You might want to doublecheck your hot spot to be sure that your baby can get warm enough.
