Going to attempt to feed Dimika again today, after 10 days of leaving her alone. Should I feed two small pinkies as a smaller meal than the usual fuzzy?

Her last regurge was two days after feedin' and she was on shed, so fingers crossed that this time she'll down it good and proper

I would only give Dimika 1 Small pinkie then 2 Small pinkies a week later. Better to air on the side of caution after a regurge.

I agree with Rich.
It's better to take it slow.
If he eats one pinkie offer with two the next time.

Yup, with rich on this one, give her one pinkie then 5 days later 2 pinkies and then after that resume your usual feeding schedule.

Even if the regurge was down to her shedding better to take it easy on her.

Will do!

Just fed one small pinky, and she took it like a bullet out of a gun x) Let's hope she keeps it down, she was certainly looking for more!Even attempted to eat the aspen once I put her back in the viv, not too good a plan really as we're hoping to keep the meal inside of her

So glad she ate it Lil....now it is just a case of wait and see. When Silvesta regurged he was on 2 medium mice and for 2 feeds after that I only gave him the 1 mouse but fed him every 5 days instead of weekly, and that seemed to work. So Rich and Danny have given you a good schedule to follow to slowly work her back up to where she was.

I do hope she keeps it down. If the regurge was down to the shed and stress then there should be no problem.

That is fantastic news Lil ! I am so pleased for you and for Dimi....and I can also understand how relieved you are, having been there and done that!

Will be thinking of you and her on Friday....and for the 48hrs afterwards....
