Rick, the rats were at two different times. I've had the grey ratsnake for over a year, and he's only been fed a rat twice. Looking at my records, the first time was 4/22/09 and the last time was 9/1/09 Both times after the regurge, he was give approx. 14 days to recoup, and started slowly with smaller then normal meals. As of now, he's pounding large adult mice with no visible problems.
Some of my other snakes that are large enough, have had zero problems with eating rats. Thanks for your help. Steve


>>I have Gray Rats that do just fine on rats. Were the rats from the same bach of food? Have other animals be able to eat the rats without problems? Other than size, I can't see why rats should make your Gray regurg. I would look for causes other than the fact that it is a rat you are feeding the animal.
