update on my 09 pine

mattkau Mar 18, 2010 09:50 AM

I am happy to report that after a full shed my 09 female northern pine gobbled down a fuzzie. She had regurged a couple weeks ago. I will keep her on one fuzzie a week until she puts on some more size, which shouldn't take long. Here she is in the first two pics. Male in the third.

Great looking girl there and good news about the gurg recovery.

I was going to follow-up on my 3 gurgers that I reported a little while back with a new post but I'll just tag to this.

I waited 14 days for all three, 20 in the case of the LA Pine which went into shed. They all got reduced meals and all have held 'em down...well, so far, my LA Pine, who took two fuzzy rats last night is in her water bowl, out in the open, on the cool side of the tank at ~72 degrees!...she's got a nice warm hide too...go figure.

That's good news. Man I hate regurges. Hopefully we've seen the last of them for a while.

Good luck with her I'm sure she'll be fine. My bull is a good eater but does not like more than one food item at a time, she will completely digest one and have a big poop, and either regurged or passed the other half digested one. This happened to me twice but no problems when feeding her just one hopper at a time. It's tough though since she always wants another one!
