Lil' Tank's first mouse!

LMAO! Like he was going to let you get away with taking his food that's way to many mice for one feeding though Royce. Watch him because he may get constipated after this feeding ok. Wow! He has grown alot to help with the constipation you can wai 2 or 3 days then give him some night crawler pieces. They kind of act like a stool softener. Also if you have any of the Fluker's Repti-Aid it also works for constipation. Its not a complete solution for impaction but contains a good bit of fiber. Grif usually goes within a day or 2 of me giving her some.

I figured that! Well, the other two pinkies I gave him were tiny, I think saying they were 1/2" was maybe too big, they were about the size, all the way round of a cricket. The third one, as I said, was a mistake. Oh for sure, I'll try the pieces or nightcrawler, I hope he dosen't become impacted! I normally wait three days between feedings anyway. Repti-Aid huh? Is it a powder coating? I'll have to get some asap!

Do you think he will be alright? Like I said, to be honest, the two pinkies were tiny, and the third was not much larger. He normally eats 2-3 5"+ nightcrawlers at one feeding, so I figured the mice wouldn't be a problem.

Thanks Grif!

I think he'll be fine. The Repta-Aid is a powder that you mix with de-chlorinated water. You administer it suringe, but I have coated night crawlers in some of the powder before and still got results. Just not as fast. Also raise his temp just a degree or 2 higher than you normally keep him. This will help with the digestion. I keep Grif at 84 to 85 during the day and 78 at night. Repta-Aid is actually used to provide nutrition and help with dehydration of ill and malnurished reptiles and amphibians. It comes with a dosage sheet. I found this usage for it when I noticed it kept her regular when she was sick. Like I said though it won't solve severe impaction just mild constipation.
