Problem with regurgitation

Fatman608

I'm Hungry
One of my 04 corns will regurgitate its food after about 3 or 4 days. She does it on every meal. Now she has grown in size but not like my other 04 corns. The temp is ok(78 to 82) and she has a hide. She does poop once a week and the pinkies are about half digested. I think maybe she got a little piece of substrate in her system so there is a small blockage. Need to know if there is anyway to help her out. I am hoping that has she grows she will poop it out.

feed her some were where she can't eat any bedding :cheers:
 
Yes, you can feed her somewhere where there is no bedding. If she keeps regurging this is a serious problem. If you suspect a blockage she probably needs to see a qualified reptile vet. What is your procedure when she regurges? I would wait 10 days before you even try to feed her again and feed something half as big (i.e. 1 pink instead of 2 pinks or a fuzzy). I would also buy some Nutribac (Kathy has it for sale on her site) as it helps after regurges. The more info the better, especially on her past feeding schedule.
