I brought 2 very small pinkies home for my corn and this is what happened.
First pinky, he constricted it, swallowed it, but it seemed to get lodged in his throat and it wasnt moving down. He seemed to get his head as vertical as possible so that maybe it would go down easier. It didnt. He then started lashing around very quickly, and then came to a cease. Since he is a snow corn, I was able to see the blood in his head was really bright red like it was gonna burst and then completely white past his neck like he wasnt getting any blood flow. At this point, I gently lifted him he started to move and thrash when I was holding him and then out came the pinky.
So I waited a little while and proceeded to try again with the second pinky. He it about 20 min ago, but again, the whole thing is in his mouth, but it doesnt move anywhere. He put his head straight in the air again. Lashed around a few times,looked in the tank 5 min later, and he puked the second pinky up.
Any ideas what is going on? He has eaten much bigger pinkies and even some fuzzies in the past, so I dunno what is going on.

thanks in advance
