 |
|
Hi,
just fed my western hognose and i noticed that some of its aspen bedding was in her mouth, i pulled a couple of pieces out but was unable to get some other pieces out in time.
This is the first time this has ever happened to me, i feed her onto of her hide but somehow has decided to drag it off into the bedding
anyone know how this will affect this snake should i be getting really worried. |

I'm sure it will be fine mate..I have had animals ingest small bits of aspen when feeding and had no problems..Maybe worth laying a sheet of kitchen towel over the aspen when you feed next time if you are worried,or feed in another tub

Hoggies are real messy eaters, quite often swallowing anything that is stuck to the food, so long as it's not sharp and the snake is correctly hydrated and has a fresh water supply then it's not normally a problem.
