you stated that you fed its 2nd meal just a couple of days after the 1st. I believe that one meal every 7 days is plenty. Any more often is a strain on their digestion. The meal was also too big. Now that it has vomited, its lost valuable stomac acids that it needs to digest and if you try to feed it again too soon (even a small meal), it'll likely vomit again. I'd wait a full 2 weeks and try to feed it a fuzzy mouse (small meal) with out holding it for the week after feeding. I'd keep the meals on the small side for a few feedings so that you don't stress or strain it on its recovery. In this situation, less is more as far as health is concern. Good luck, David
