Regurgitating help!

[maccaw1]

I'm a little worried, I came home this afternoon to find that my redtail (Rosy) regurgitated her last mouse. Should I be concerned? I feed her every 5-7 day's she's around 6 months old 2 feet long, fairly active and I keep her tank at 78 at one end and 90 in the basking area. Worry or not?

78 is a little low, 82-83 would be better.
DO NOT feed her again for 2 weeks. she needs that time to rebuild her digestive fluids. if you feed her again before that, she will regurge again, and you will run the risk of her getting regurgitation syndrome.

one more thing, it may help if you feed for the next few times a smaller meal the she is used to. less of a strain on her

Will do, thanks for the info!

did u handle her after she ate?

[maccaw1]

nope, I try not to handle her for at least 24 - 48 hours after she eats. Right now she's soaking in her water so she's acting pretty normal.
