Don't rush it or power feed her but give her heartier meals for a while. She should bulk up once you increase her food intake.
Ok so she threw up the fuzzy which I'm not going to lie, really frustrated me. I don't know if its because it was too big or because I handled her this morning. I fed her in the morning on Wednesday and this morning I took her out only to take the two photos. She couldn't have been out of the cage more than two minutes if that. 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.
