Weird Poop/Regurg/Vomit?
So I went to feed my male BP today and noticed something strange. He had what looked like the skin and fur of a rat lying in his cage. He ate a week ago. There was urate in there as well so I'm assuming it was really strange poop but I want to be sure. His temps are fine. It didn't smell horrible like people say vomit/regurg smell. But it wasn't solid looking like his usual poop. He has been acting normal to me. He did not eat for me today but I assume maybe I was hovering too much since I was concerned. Any advice would be appreciated thank you

Hard to give advice without knowing what it really was.
A pic would help.

It was in one solid piece though when I went to grab it, it pulled away easily.

That is reguritated. Probably wasnt in his stomach more than a few hours.
How old is he/she?
Give em a week to recoup then try again. Be sure to keep a very close eye for a couple of hours after.
I hope all goes well....let me know.
P.S. Do you feed in the enclosure? If so he could be impacted with the substrate..looks like you use aspen,which is easily ingested.

If it doesn't smell terrible, it's not a regurge.

Every now and then I'll get a crap that's a large percentage of fur - normal stuff.

He ate a week ago so I really doubted it was regurg. Ok cool so just weird poop that is what I was hoping for.

Also is impaction a huge issue with these guys? I just figure they eat off the ground all the time in the wild so substrate shouldn't be too huge of an issue.

Impaction is always a concern!
But go with his diagnosis.
