Problems digesting F/T pinkys?

Is there a possiblity that my 6 month corn can't fully digest a F/T pinky? Sometimes she digests it fully, other times she has a small regurge plus a bowel movement. :( She was on live before I brought her. Should I try going back to live? I had no problem switching her to F/T.


Any suggestions would be great!

Just a couple thoughts... Are the pinkies fully defrosted? and warm when you feed? I switched all my snakes a few months ago and have had no problems, I think I give myself a bit of extra work making sure the f/t pinkies & mice are really warm
good luck! :)

yeah, i live them in pretty hot water for about 5-10 mins. They are pretty warm when I take them out of the water.

The extra work I was telling you about is I soak them in hot water for about 30 minutes (I change the water every 15) probably over kill- but the insides are pretty warm
Those were my only thoughts, maybe someone else has some more ideas!
