Sooooo I dunno, should I keep trying the fuzzies or should I do multiple pinkies. Shes never regurgitated her food before...

Edit: Btw, she still had a lump this morning so I'm assuming it was too big for her. I can't imagine my brief handling was the cause. This is her first fuzzie so maybe its too big? It did leave a pretty large lump.

A regurge isn't good but a fuzzy definitely shouldn't be too big. It's possible that you stressed her a little by handling her too soon after her meal. More importantly, what are your temps like and do you have a thermostat to control your temps? I would wait 7-10 days before attempting to feed her again and wouldn't handle her at all until you get a couple of meals in her. A regurge is most often caused by stress, temps, or illness.
