hi. as owners of 2 corn snakes allready that have no problems we have recently aquired a stray corn snake from our neighbours garden! it is about 4 foot long but very skinny. we bought it 4 baby mice which it ate very quick but over the past few days as the mice have passed through it they have all but one come out whole. any advice greatfully received.. thanx
define 4 baby mice? we talking fuzzies or small mice? is it possible that its regurgitated 3 of them? feeding 4 in one go is a lot for a snake to handle, especially if theres a chance that he hasnt eaten in a while
hey and welcome btw

thank you for welcoming me. the mice were small fuzzy's and he has poo'd since we fed him 3 days ago then the one mouse appeared whole in what can only be described as what looks like a sac. is it possible that it can reguritate after that long? as we dont know any history of the snake from before we found him we dont actually know what his diet would have been and that if infact we are feedin him the correct food! thanx Emma
he ate them 3 days ago and literally they were gone in less than 10 mins.. like i said he is very skinny an we dont know how long he has been outside for. thnx Emma
Leave him be for a week or two to settle and give him fresh water. He may just need to settle and if he did regurge it will give him time for his stomach jucies to settle and replenish.
When you next feed him I personally would just give him 1 small meal.
my snake dosent seem to be digesting its food.
