Corn regurge question

[Argentra]

Would a young corn regurge a meal that was too big?? I ask because my little 6 month old tossed her meal back after being fed Thursday. I had a feeling that fuzzy was a bit big, and knew it was once I saw her swallowing it...but then it was too late of course.

She seems pretty bright and alert still, so I hope nothing bad came of it. I normally feed her every 4-5 days, but am going to wait a full week this time before offering her a pinky instead. Should I wait longer?

Yes, I once fed my corn a mouse that was too big for him, and he regurged it. Never had a problem when mouse was sized correctly. He bounced back perfectly though.

I think a week, might be short, two wouldnt hurt.

If you feed to soon, you can cause a lot of damage, so my opinion would be to be a little safer and wait two.

Hi,

I was trying to find a direct link to Kathy Love's faq on regurge but it seems ot be eluding me - but it is reproduced about a third of the way down this web page.

Hope this helps the lil fella recover ok.

Ok, will do. And thanks for the web page, Del... that was informative.

She seems pretty bright and alert, with her nose at the door of her hide, so I have good hopes for her. My only concern is that she regurged twice in a row and I didn't notice the first one because it was partially digested and looked like poo...till I saw the tail. And that was noticed AFTER I had offered her the second meal only 5 days later... So yeah, I will wait a full two weeks to let her system rebuild and recover.

Well, live and learn. I had a feeling that darn fuzzy was too big...
