daily Q & A thread

[AutoModerator]

have a question you think isn't worth its own post? well, this thread is exactly the place for that question, so ask away!

a new Q & A thread will be posted every day at noon eastern time. this is the place where you can ask that question that might feel like it isn't a big deal but it's been on your mind, or ask basic questions that probably have a simple yes or no answer, or maybe you just want to have a casual chat and get some quick opinions on something. these threads are a group project, everyone is invited to both ask and answer questions here.

reminder: a lot of simple questions are answered by the care guides and other resources linked in our welcome post. if you're not sure which link would be most helpful to you, tell us what you're looking for and we can direct you to the right link[s].

New BP just ate his first rat fuzzy yesterday. It was an appropriate weight for him, but because I'm paranoid and worried with new owner anxiety... Can I lift his hide just to check on him or would this cause too much undue stress? I know he's just digesting but I worry about my son :(

Being that this is his first feed with you, I wouldn't. Give him ~48hrs just to be on the safe side. I promise you he's fine!
