in my opinion there is no reason to wait for defication prior to feeding.. And, i have also never read in any publication that this is so for balls or any type of snake.

It sounds to me like you have subtrate issue.. it may be best for you to switch out to somthing that cannot be ingested ASAP..

There are other choices that may not look as nice as wood chip bedding but is much safer... I have always used newspaper.. its cheap, easy to clean and has rarely if ever been ingested.
