hi as u know ive only had my corn a couple of weeks, hes been a real good eater last feed on the 30th august. this morning i had my daily check on him and he had pooped so i cleared that up and went back an hour later and found he had regurged the last meal. he does get handled every day coz hes still not so tame, i didnt handle him until the 1st of septemebr. the bedding he is on is like small gravelly stuff that came with the vivarium i bought. do u think its worth while pulling all the gravel out and having him on newspaper? what do u think caused him to reguge this time when hes been fine any other time?
 
He probably needs one more day to digest. I'd give him three days from now on. Is he a baby? Wait 8 days to feed him, then feed a meal half the size of what he regurged. Are his temps perfect?
 
yeah temps are as they always have been before todays regurge 28oc tank temp. ill do that. do u think i need to get him off this gravel stuff onto newspaper? coz it does get stuck to the mice when hes swallowing
 
I have no clue what you're using for substrate and "gravelly stuff" could be numerous things.

Since the substrate IS in fact sticking to his food I would definately feed in a seperate enclosure, a little rubbermaid bin will work....that way he is swallowing his food and his food only.
 
Sounds like he may have regurged due to foreign matter on the food item. I would feed in an empty spare container in the future and not in his home bin. It not only keeps blockages from happening but lowers the chance that he will think its time to eat every time you reach in.
 
seems lively enuff today, had him out for a cuddle, seems to enjoy out time now. he is however having a look around for food but im not gunna feed next tues when hes due im gunna give him an extra week just to recover his lil tummy :)
