>>He is in a showcase cage, which has glass fronts, two screen vents. It is a molded plastic cage. His current water dish is about 10" squared and 2 inches deep.

>>He has spit up on of the fuzzies today, and looks to be in quite a bit of discomfort. The food seems to remain very much in the first third of the body instead of being spread out through his length. I hope I didn't allow him to overindulge.

>>Thanks for any suggestions you may have.

It's very possible he has some blockage and can't get the food all the way down.
I think a trip to the vet may be in order if you can swing it.
