Regurge question- 7 days from feeding or regurge?

I have a question, my Spike is a June hatchling, had been on double pinks for probably 6 feedings and hadn't had any trouble. Last Tuesday, I gave him a smallish fuzzy for the first time, on Friday he regurged.

Do I wait 7-10 days from the feeding day or 7-10 days from the regurge day? And, will he be less likely to want to eat after having thrown up his last meal?

He seems fine otherwise, been pretty active actually- he seems to be prowling for food. I have not fed him since.

Thanks!
 
I'd go seven from the regurge, or ten from the feeding. He will be VERY hungry!! Did you get Nutribac? And you know to go back to half the size of the feeding he regurged, in his case I'd feed one pink. And then VERY gradually build back up, plus I'd keep him on double pinks till he gets bigger, not try to go to fuzzies again soon.
 
Along with Nanci I agree 7-10 days from the regurge. I also agree with Nanci here 1 pink for a week or 2 then build back to double pinks.

Also Nanci mention Nutribac, go ahead and get you some. It helps if the snake regurges again the stomach bacteria and stuff may not have built back up. This should help with the process. A lot of people use it when snakes and other reptiles regurge. I use it if there was regurge that I can't understand or have an explaination for. AKA handling after eating, heating failure ect.... It has worked real well for me.
 
I do 10 days from date of regurge. Then the next meal offered is TINY. If they're on pinks, I do a pink head. Double pinks would be half a pink. Fuzzies would be an excessively slit pink.
