Last night I saw what looked like feces in Keahi's cage, so I picked it up to throw away. Upon inspection, I discovered that it didn't have quite the same consistency as her poop usually does, and it had a different smell. It was slightly gelatinous, very dark in color, and it was about the same size as her poop usually is, maybe slightly larger. Should I treat this as a regurg and wait two weeks to feed her again (we just recently went through this!)? I can't tell for sure whether it was a regurg or just poop.
She last ate on Tuesday morning, I handled her and cleaned her cage Thursday morning, and I discovered the object in question thursday night. When I was cleaning her cage (ended up taking me close to an hour) she was in a little plastic container with no heat. Upon being put back into the clean cage, she went straight for the warm hide, and later that night I found this poop/regurg. Warm side is 85 F day and night, and cool side is about 75 F. This is just to give some idea of the situation.
So, what should I do? Wait two weeks and assume it was a regurg? My only concern with waiting is that she threw up a few weeks ago and I waited two weeks then (although she has successfully kept down a meal since then), and waiting two weeks again would be an awful lot of not eating; she's pretty thin. The poop/regurg was a very small amount; it's not like she threw up the whole meal (if it is in fact a regurg).
I'm thinking that I'm just going to go ahead and feed her Sunday as scheduled, but if anyone has any advice, I'd appreciate it.
