It probably is a regurge. (I know I said it was poo on the dark side )
What has she been eating? Anything different?
Are temps still ok?
Best thing to do is give her a warm bath - (in case she's constipated and it's causing a blockage) then leave her for 10 days before feeding again so her stomach can settle. |

Just saw this while eating my tea!
Could be a regurge and if it is the first thing I would check is temps. |

Just check the mat with your hand- our stat failed last week in Cyd's viv and it caused all kinds of problems. Poor love got a bit egg bound because we didn't notice straightaway. |

regurge tends to come back up looking a bit more like it went in.... i'd be tempted to go with poo... |

It just looks like passed fur (which is harder to digest), are your temps right - I can see the dial, do you have digital? |

yeah i have a thermostat... the temps are okay, i checked the heatmat last night and the temps seem fine so the thermostat isn't malfunctioning.
it could be fur! i only started her on hoppers 2 weeks ago.. the fuzzies beforehand had no fur at all!
i hope it's that :( should i still leave her be for 10 days?
p.s. i bathed her last night before bed and she made some kinda "pfft" sound whilst in there (i assume it's due to water in the nostrils maybe?). She didn't leave me a gift in there though, i assumed she would have, but nothing. |

If we are all satisfied it's poo, then you can feed at the normal time, but keep a close eye on her regardless.
Hopefully it's just fur. |

well i've checked her over a few times, bathed her and weighed her and she seems fine!
She weighed in at 73g, for a 9months old milk, is that about average!?
She seems just fine so i might leave her till Tues when i feed her next [she brought up that gunk on Tuesday, but the more i research it, the more i'm thinking it's pooed out furr!]
We'll see. |
