Hi everyone,

I always feed my rosy forzen fuzzy, but yesterday I bought a live fuzzy and he ate it.. but today when i saw in the tank .. the whole fuzzy came back out , i think he digest a little bit of the head and the rest stay the same... the fuzzy that i fed him is a little bit bigger that the one i usually feed him, will that be the problem???
Why will he vomit???

Thank you

If you feed a snake a large food item and then disturb it, or if it can't find a secure warm place to wait and digest it, the snake will often regurgitate it.

Stick with smaller frozen/thawed food items and you should have no problems.

thx.. maybe i turn off the heatpat at nite that's why...
thx

..being turned off.

I start out all my neonate rosys on fuzzy mice. If the temp drops neonate rosys regurge real easy.

Don't feed it again for a good 5-7 days, then feed a small meal, and like mentioned by Bluerosy, leave the heat on. Once the snake is back on track (say 4 small meals each successive week with no vomiting), then you can go to fuzzies again. Like Chris said, keeping the meals to a reasonable (meaning not too large) size is good practice.

Digesting rosies need a warm area in the cage at all times.

Something I forgot to mention. Once you have a regurge you have to wait a while and then (as outlined by MarkG)only feed small meals.
