my rtb dosent seem to full when i feed him 1 fuzzie, but he throws up when i give him a small adult mouse becouse its so big. What sould i do?

I'd probably forget about mice and get him on rats of an appropriate size either pups or small fuzzies, he will eventually end up on rats so its better to do it sooner rather than later. I always feed my younger ones about once a week gradually increasing the size of the food. make sure you don't disturb them for 24 hours after feeding as this can cause regurge.
Hope this helps

You should first off check all aspects of your husbandry specially in reguards to temps on the hot & cold side for starters. If the snake has regurged you should not attempt to feed it again for at least 10 days to 2 weeks & then feed it a smaller meal. Snakes regurge for a reason either due to incorrect temps, internal parasites, too large of a meal or being fed too soon after a regurge. If fed too soon after regurge it will put your snake in a series of regurges if you continue to do so & will eventually lead to its death. In your case I'll guess to say that if can't properly digest a bigger meal at this point because it is being fed too soon after a regurge so smaller meals should be fed for a while to let it build its stomach fluids used in digestion back up. Could also very well be too hot or too cold for the snake. The size/age of the snake & info/details on the enclosure temps etc. will help determine why it is possibly regurging too as if husbandry is not proper it is also a likely cause. Make sure all husbandry is correct & that smaller prey is offered until teh snake is back to normal also make sure it has lots of fresh drinking water available to it as regurges seriously dehydrate the snake & if allowed to continually regurge will kill the snake eventually.

P.S. in reguards to prey a standard meal size would be prey the smae girth as the thickest girth of the snake or upto 1.5 times bigger, but thats only once the snake is healthy again go with smaller prey until then.
