Swallowed Lucene Pellet

[devians]

So i normally, for years now, feed in a plastic container. But recently a girl at work who breeds and is quite experienced said to not stress, just feed in the enclosure.

2nd time, and one of my maccies swallows a lucene pellet with his rat. nothing i could do, couldnt get there quick enough to yank it.

What sort of issues am i now facing, what should i be on the look out for?

i dont think you will have any issues. id think the pellet will break down as its organic. but call a vet and run it by them

i wouldnt be stressing about it, think of like abit of ruffage for your Maccie

i would be watching out for possible constipation, although i dont think it will happen keep a close eye on its poop cycle, if you think it maybe clogged give it some paraffin oil via a crop feeder, that will get it regular its like a all brand challenge for your snakey

hope that helps

Hey champ, i wouldnt stress yet.. being an organis product the snake should be able to simple break it down and digest it or excrete it. If you find it becoming sluggish or signs of constipation i would suggest what snake charma said in the oil... and possibly consult a vet, but only a vet who actually knows reptiles... but you should find nothing will occur from this
