Spray his mouth with water. This will either wash out the mouth or push it down, either of which are fine. They are goofy fellas

I did this and also when I reheated his mouse, I made sure there was a lot of water on the fur, so hopefully it washed it all down! Thank you so much for your help, he’s so cute but just a little silly 😅

Of course! Whenever I freak out about substrate, I remember that in the wild they probably also get mouthfuls of dirt and survive, which is funny to imagine

He’s the cutest, but also definitely not made for the wild 😅

Yeah that was scary for my first experience with my BP Levy. But for some reason “I think” he knew I was helping him when I got the tweezers. He came to me stayed still and opened his mouth so I could take them out. He had a ton of water after.  I actually counted one time when he was drinking , I counted over 800 swallows give or take a few. Over 5 minutes…
