Handling after regurge?

Born this way
So I had a regurge on Sunday. I asked for fuzzies and was handed hoppers, which I didn't think looked too big. They were, and I should have known better. There was still a bump after a week so I expected a regurge at that point. Now appropriate sized fuzzies are on the way. I already know not to feed for 11-14 days but she's flighty and nippy so I wanted to handle her but I'm not sure if that would be bad for any reason.
 
Well, with a tiny baby you want to reduce stress and conserve calories, so you definitely don't want to handle. In this case, you are certain of the cause, and she's not super-small, so I think it would be fine to handle gently a couple times, not every day, in between. You should be fine waiting 8-10 days from when she regurged. Then feed something half the size of the hopper- like a peach fuzzy. Cut a LOT of slits in it, along the back and both sides, or even better just snip it in half and feed both halves. I'd use Nutribac, too, for about the next six months.
