Just lovin' Cubes!
I have a problem with a yearling who is already on a thin side. It seems he can't keep F/T food in and ends up regurgitating.
Since he arrived to me in September I first fed him with F/T mice three times, and all three times he vomited. (I'm not 100% sure of the second one whether it was poo or vomit). I've kept long pauses between feedings and I've given reasonably small mice to him to prevent vomiting. But all that hasn't helped.
Fourth feeding was a live rat fuzzy. The rat was meant for another snake that hasn't been accepting F/T, but it didn't accept live rat either so I decided to give it to this thin vomiting yearling. I've noticed it's more likely for a snake to keep over sized food in if it's live/freshly killed. He ate the rat and FINALLY he was able to keep the food in. So I hoped he was now feeling better and would now keep F/T mice in too.
One week after the rat meal I gave him F/T mouse again. A very small one - just in case. But today I found out he had regurgitated again! So it seems that since the snake came to me he has kept in only ONE meal: the live rat. All other meals he has thrown up.
I'm getting very very very worried.
What should I do?!
