Good post!
I would like to add: wait about ten days since last regurge to feed, as regurge strips the gut fauna and time is needed for that to rebalance. Then feed him a smaller than usual food item and gradually bring the food size back up as he successfully manages to process his meals.

Also if he is a nervous or shy sort give him a box to hide under when you do cage chores with him in the cage. They like to be able to hide if they feel threatened.
