We got a new baby Ball a couple of weeks ago (now we have 2.2). He's a nice normal CH that I picked up from a trusted local shop. He had eaten two fuzzy mice, no problem except for a less than agressive feeding response. Saturady Night he ate a live pinky rat I bought from a local rodent breeder that was left in his cage overnight, and when I got home this afternoon he had puked it up. I was home for lunch and he seemed fine so this must have happened in the last 4hrs.

This worries me greatly, so my questions are what are possible causes of this, and what should I be on the lookout for that might indicate a greater problem?

Oh, he is set up in a 10gal with paper towel substrate, a good water dish and a cave hide that he seems to like. He has UTH, and a 40wat bulb on a 12hr cycle. Temps range from 80-98 during the day and he seems happy, hiding during the day and cruising around at night. Thanks for any help.
