Confused

OK so my BCO regurged the other day, what looked to be a small furball. But I looked in her cage yesterday and she had deficated over night. And its a healthy looking poop. Im really starting to think she cant tolerate the fur. I do have some hairless rats, maybe i should put them back together and try feeding her only hairless.

I've had some Boas regurge fur balls before as well and then
have a perfectly healthy B.M. also
plus eat the next week with no problem

Although you have had some regurge issues with your Bco haven't you ?

I saw this here and there over the years and would always skip a
week of feeding just to be safe, but recently I decided to try
feeding ( on normal schedule )a couple younger Boas
when this happened

They ate , Everything went just fine.

So I can't explain why it happens either,

I agree its some intolerance to fur I guess.

I'm curious about this as well.

If I were you I'd try furless mice , they are available

worth a try
