Hello,
Im new to the site and am thankful there are so many people willing to help, I hope starting a new thread is ok. We have a 2 year old Male Lavender Motley. No real issues at all until the other day. He had went into his hide and stayed there for a few days and didnt come out, he does this everytime he is going into shed. We assumed that was the case and checked on him. We simply lifted up his hide to see if he was in blue phase and was ok. We didnt handle him. We saw he didnt appear to be in blue phase. During this time he was also ready for a feed. We have attempted to go up in size on his mice from 2 hoppers to 1 weaned/large mouse. The past several feedings he would take it and then sometimes not. We went back to the hoppers and he took them eagerly. The next evening he shed. Two days after eating/shedding he regurgitated for the first time. We witnessed it and felt awful. We feel we caused this by feeding him so close to shed. Was it the extra stress?? What should we do now?? He stayed in his hide for several days after the regurg but now is starting to move about almost like normal. We did research and have discovered some conflicting recommendations. Please help! Thank You
