My baby ball wasn't eating for a couple of weeks..he looked really terrible and really skinny. Then the weekend of the 4th he ate! He ate TWO fuzzies. This weekend, no dice. I've tried feeding him three times, now. What's worse, he barfed up one of the fuzzies (I think only one...I only found one).

So again, I'm very worried about him. He wasn't in great shape when I got him from the store (he had lots of mites on him and was thin). Is there anything I can do besides wait, try again and hope for the best?

When you feed him again, make sure you only give him one mouse per feeding, and make sure it isn't too big. I bought a 10 lot of CH females and had 4 of them regurgitate, so I gave them each 2 doses of Flagyl, and only one has regurgitated since, (can't win them all) and that one also has blister problems. Sometimes when they come into the states they have severe bacterial problems and some just will not make it. Does he also have very runny rancid stools?

No, his poop was solid. The fuzzy was about 3/4 digested. You think it was just too big a meal?

Perhaps a bacterial issue?

Probably too big and more than one did it to him. Wait a few days to a week and try something a little smaller. If he has good solid stools I wouldn't worry too much, probably just fed him too much at one time.

Good luck
