is this odd?

[dotti1990]

my 10 month old jungle on her last 2 feeds has been eating her fuzzies then later regurgitating just the tail. is that normal?

 

[D3pro]

At least it's eating most of the body. Maybe just chop the rat tail off before feeding?

oh shes likes to read the Cairns cars guide section of the paper too =)

just a thought but Ive noticed that sometimes the legs and tails on my rats are almost dangling off at times due to how they have been frozen? maybe its a coincidence and the tails are hanging off when your feeding and become dislodged during the swollowing process?

 

[dotti1990]

she was on pinkies before never did it, i think it make be somthing to do with them being frozen and that part of the tail might be the weak point on a mousey =)

how much later is she regurgitating the feet and tail?

im wondering if maybe the feet and tail got cooked in the thawing process?

i know its a different animal, but i had a shingle back regurgitate cooked chicken and hes never regurged anything before that or since,..(the rest has been fed raw)

how do u defrost them ?

 

[dotti1990]

put some hot tap water in a container then sit it in untill the insides feel nice xD.....i wonder if anyone has ever microwaved them before LOL

 

[Snakewise84]

i use a ziplock bag and just put them in the fridge to defrost then about 20 mins before feeding i get them out to warm up to room temp. when is it due for the next feed try it and see how u go ..

 

[dotti1990]

im going to feed her tonight she eats about once a week not a fussy eater in the slightest loves her food all the time xD

I tried microwaving it, cos i read a comment on one of the threads (little did i know it was sarcastic)
40 seconds later a new microwave was needed and the smell was amazing. -.-

so yeah,
dont microwave

 

[Snakewise84]

the hot water mite be cooking the legs and tail before it defrosts the middle of it.

lol simply take it out of the freezer place in a strongly sealed plastic bag such as a snap-lock bag then ither place somewhere that you will not forget it wait a few hours an bamm reptile food to go
