    Re: Slow digestion?

    Here's a thing...my tetrataenia are on half (lengthways) pinkies now. Yesterday I found a completely undigested pinky foot in the poo. Everything else was gone..spine, pelvis, skull etc. but a perfect foot made it through.

    I buy my pinkies frozen and more often than not the feet have already snapped off 'in transit', otherwise I might see this more often? I don't know...just thought I'd mention it.

    I did wonder whether the tendons in the pinky foot were part of the problem, ie harder to digest. Then again, he could have been a slow eater in the first place because something was wrong. I'll never know.
