I am hoping to get some assistance with a concern of mine. I have had quite a time getting my boy, phil, to eat pre-killed prey. I have found a way to get him to do it, I place the dead rat in the cage (he shows no interest at all - even if I have it dance the watusi...lol) and then I stimulate his hunting desire by placing in a second, live rat. I have done this three times now and with relief, he eats both rats. My goal is to move up to a pre-killed rabbit and a live rat and then to a thawed big rabbit and a live rat. ANYWAY... this last time, he ate the two rats (he likes to be fed in the dark at night) and when I checked on him the next morning, he had regurgitated both of them (the first time I have seen that - not a pretty sight or smell for that matter). So, ?why did it happen? was it too much food? He had eaten the same meal twice before. Is he sick? Is this normal? Give me some pointers if you can...
Thanx.
Marco
