By sick do you mean he regurgitated the pinki?

I has this happen with my T. sirtalis once when I handled him a few hours after he'd had a meal. Now after feeding, I give him about 24 hours before I do any extensive handling and it hasn't happened since.

If this was an isolated instance, I'd just give him more time after meals. If it happens again, something may be wrong.
