Meal/wax worms

[Alix411]

Okay so I only gave Cookie 3 worms, 1 wax worm and 2 meal worms. I gave them to her yesterday around 430. This morning around 930 she passed them but instead of looking like her normal poo it looks like the worms came out them same way they went in. Except now the are in a convenient bundle. I don't usually feed her worms; I usually give her crickets. BUT she has had plenty of worms before. She passed them fine part from maybe like a worm head or two. I'm just scared I hope she isn't sick. If you would like a picture of the BM let me know and I can get one up ASAP. Thank you in advance.

Definitely undigested! :-( I don't know what the problem could be. Too much chitin??? Too much fat? Chitin is difficult to digest.

It would be very helpful if you would continue your questions on a single thread so we can get the BIG picture of Cookie's care.

Have you a thermostat to keep the temps in a narrower range: 88-93*F?

How about sharing a picture of Cookie's enclosure?

Please complete this Health Questionnaire. It is quite helpful and lets us see things at a glance.

this is so weird. It looks like the Wax Worm is as undigested as the Meal Worms. I think that if it was the chitin, than the Wax Worm would have been more digested.

this is just really odd. I hope that you find out what is causing this.

These worms were regurgitated. Was she warm enough when you fed her?(hanging in the warm end? Were the worms at room temperature and not directly from the refrigerator? You did not handle her after feeding
did you?
