Help - Red Eft Hunger Strike

[kpcole]

He ate worms all summer, and the last two that he's taken, he has regurgitated immediately (while the worm is still alive). He hasn't kept anything down for days. Any advice?

Try a different prey item.

I tried a small slug yesterday. He went after it aggressively, and then - same thing. Regurgitated immediately.

Thoughts?

I would say wait a week or so, then try something tiny, like fruit flies or 1/8" crickets. If it regurgitates again, something is wrong, and it may need veterinary attention.
