Right Mojo is in the early stages of his 1st shed with me, just made him a box full of damp stuff went to put it in his viv but noticed something next to his coconut hide which looked like a slimey mouse skin, nowhere near as fat as it was when it went in. (about as thick as a pencil) I fed him 2 fuzzys on sunday (like normal) and he HAS had a poo since, so what is this?? has he puked this back up or do they sometimes poo something that looks a bit mousey?? Dont know if they can puke em back up 3 days after being fed. Could it have sumit to do with shed?? Hope he's ok |

I'm guessing this was puked up, as it looks like only the head end has been partially digested if he has, should I worry?? |

that's either regurge or an uneaten mouse that Mojo's hidden?
do you feed in the viv or do you feed in a tub and know for sure it went down? |

did it smell really bad? regurge does............... don't attempt a feed for another 10 days now, this will give Mojo's tummy time to settle and the natural gut bacteria to balance out again. in 10 days try feeding a single prey item, smaller than usual in size |

reasons for regurge are often incorrect temperatures, stress, or handling too soon.......... could any of these apply? given that he took 2 mice last feed he might have needed an extra day before handling?
a one-of regurge isn't usually a problem as long as the cause is identified and rectified, regular regurge would need a vets advice though |
