Am I worrying over nothing..?

On 1-30-14 my male corn regurged. He has been on protocol, I've been feeding him small pinkies ever since. He's had 5 meals without an issue. The first four were slit pinkies, the fifth was a slit peach fuzzy, and this last one was a small 3.8g slit fuzzy. I fed him that last night at about 10:30-11pm. He was very active afterwords. It's now 2pm and he's being active, but to the point where it's worrysome. Darting around the tank, falling over trying to climb over things... I gave him another vine +branch to spend some energy on and he's seemed to slow down, but I'm just worried he's going to regurge again. This isn't really typical behavior for him and his movement is just different than usual.

For reference, he's about 42grams, and is less than a year old.
 
Also, usually he does a few laps after he eats and then settles down, but last night he was up all night, then at about 2pm he started wildly moving around his tank. Usually he's out but he kinda just watches us while partially hidden. He hasn't stopped and it's been an hour now, so I'm extremely worried.. Is it possibly "Spring male" behavior? He isn't even a year old yet, so I'm a little skeptical unless they start this behavior early. And the only other explanation is that he's just hungry, but he hasn't done this when I've given him small pinkies - and this time he was given a small fuzzy, double the weight..

I'm afraid I'm either right or totally overreacting. :C
 
He's hungry. It's okay to start moving up in size, gradually. maybe double pinks, small peach fuzzy, peach, small fuzzy, medium fuzzy. That's about what he should be on, every five days.
 
Next feeding I was going to go with a 4.5-5g fuzzy, then a 6g, and then up to 7gs. His movement was just very unlike him, even while hunting. The other thing is he's due for a shed probably within the next week and a half - so the behavior was all the more worrying... But if you think he's just hungry then I'll stop worrying.
