i got 3 balls at the last expo i went to 2 of them have regurgitated food 3 times the third has not now i have 7 that i have had for a year or so and i have never experienced this problem before, is this parasitic or something else.

any help is appreciated thanks.

Hate to break it to you, but it's never been good in my experience to have a regurge, much less multiples. Willingness to eat on the animal is great, but the regurge indicates either a disease or a prey size that is too large. It could be an RI (respiratory infection) or some other problem, but it's impossible to tell without a fecal, and this will have to be done by a qualified vet (or a good grad student!)

Good luck,

Steve Harrison

check your temps,though warmth aids digestion,too hot and they WILL regurge!
