Trouble feeding?

[awelcome]

I noticed today she (Cobalt tinc) was catching a fly, pulling it in, but before it got to her mouth sometimes she would look like she was gagging and then drag it a bit and drop it before trying to catch it again. Then she'd eat a couple with no problems, and then it would happen again. I tried to watch closely to see if there was maybe something stuck to her tongue but I didn't really see anything or couldn't anyway because she's so fast. Sometimes she would drop the same fly a couple of times before getting it. She also was a little less enthusiastic to get going this morning (not entirely... she still polished off at least 50) but a lot scattered on her this time. Does it sound like there is something wrong?

Nope. Sounds like normal feeding.

ok, good to hear... had me worried lol. I have watched her eat every day and never noticed this, or at least not so often. It was kind of like maybe she was getting the fly with the bottom of her tongue and wanted to change position, but I didn't know if that even made a difference to her or not.

Very normal. Sometimes the just don't like the angle the food is and drop it to try again.
