 Question for joecoool2003 and jimmydavid

I need some expert advice, my 12ft. retic Lucy, has been eating pigs right now, i don’t take her out of her cage after feeding her. However, when she urinates (boy does she urinate!) i push her over to her clean side of the cage. after cleaning it at least five times yesterday, she regurgitated her meal. is this caused by my overt cleanliness and not leaving her alone? how do i remove the urine without bothering her? or as someone on this site said can she go a day or two without cleaning? also, when would you recommend i feed her again? thanks very much

you can usahly do a day or two... what kind of bedding are you using? but ya you moved her around a lil to much right after she ate......you could prob feed her today..... right after a feed even if she craps/pees anything i dont move them for at least 12 hours......and when i do i pull them completely out not move them from side to side....

joecoool, thanks for the info. the substrate i use is plain old newspaper, what do you recommend? also, this is her first time ever regurgitating i knew i should have left her alone. i appreciate it very much, thanks for getting back so soon.

Regurgitation is mostly about 2 things: Stress or internal parasites. Make sure you leave her alone enough after meals and keep an open eye for liquid feces or other signs of parasites.
