Kellogg Ate His Hopper Backwards

So I just fed my little guy, and he ate it backwards! At first I just laughed at him and was like, "Yea ok. You just try to eat that thing backwards." Apparently he took this as a challenge and sure enough, he ate it butt first. I'm just making sure that this won't cause him to regurge or anything. I know sometimes hatchlings butt-munch their pinkies, but will it have any ill effects on Kellogg, who is 1 and 1/2?
 
My guys are not picky they will eat their either way and I have not had any regurge with them.
 
This happens sometimes - we call it "butt munching"! It doesn't seem to be a regurge risk, it just takes them longer than usual to swallow as the mouse legs have to bend the wrong way in order to go in.

Some Corns are habitual butt munchers, some just do it occasionally.
 
My snow has only eaten her pinks backwards. She'll start head first, let it go and get behind to eat. She hasn't had any issues with it...it is kinda funny to watch
 
Sometimes mine will eat them backwards, but most often what happens is they grab onto the belly first and have to inch their way around to one of the ends.
