Hi all, I'm a bit worried and could really use your help :(

When I did my spot clean and water change today I found what appears to be just the foot of Puff's last feed, and I'm wondering if this is a tiny bit of regurge or not? The reason I'm asking is he got fed his fuzzy 6 days ago and since then has pooed and everything else as normal, and from all the information I've read it's said that regurge happens within the first few days of eating? This is the first time I've ever found anything like this - Puff's been an excellent feeder since I got him in July. He's currently on 1 fuzzy a week, and due his next one tomorrow. The temps in the warm end of his viv are between 27-29 degrees C. He has plenty of hides and branches too. I always leave him at least 48 hours before handling. I'm not sure what's happened :( Am I doing something wrong?

I'll be leaving him 10 days and just changing his water, just in case it is regurge. But this seems a little unusual and I'm worried he'll fully regurge on his next feed :(

Thanks for reading x

Without wanting to sound gross,did it look like the part where the paw would be attached to the leg was digested? I only ask this as I've had a few paws and ears fall off pinkies and fuzzies before.

It sort of looked like a white blob with the paw attached to it, I've also had the delights of paws falling off before! It definitely looked like it had come out of the snake, and had an unpleasant smell to it.

if its only a foot then chances are its dropped off the mouse before/during been eaten. The gross smell is because its been there for the last 6 days and starting to decompose

Alright, I shall try not too worry too much and just keep an eye on his next feed. I assure you it wasn't in the viv yesterday and has not been in there decomposing, I do my spot checks every day and would definitely not let that happen :)
