Unhappy Sicky BTS

My BTS spent the whole of yesterday hidden away and when he did eventually come out he had a waxie. However this mornin I woke up to find a mass of green, undigested veg. I assume this is regurge rather than poo. He has been out much more today though and seems a bit more chirpy. Should I feed him tonight as normal, or leave it til tomorrow??

Any ideas welcome

Would personally leave it till tomorrow to make sure hes pooing ok and that theres nothing else clogging him up or anything.
How finely do you chop up his veg?

Hope its a one off and hes alright!

His veg is chopped finely then put in the blender with a bit of cooked chicken and supplements as this is the only way we could get him to eat veg. He's been doin nice big poos up until yesterday. I think the humidity has gone up a fair bit since I put his viv on the ackie viv which is pretty warm so I might swap them round tonight.

I'll leave him tonight and give him some tomoro. I usually mix his food at the beginning of the week and leave it in the fridge, save me making it every night, which I thought would be ok.

Thanks

They don't like too much humidity from what i'v heard, so that may be it.

I wouldn't leave the chopped and mixed food in the fridge for a whole week... the longest i'v kept him in the fridge is 4 days, simply because different things expire at different rates and it can be difficult to spot if one thing is a bit past it. So i'd recomend making the food a couple of time a week, just to be on the safe side.

I thought it may be the humidity and I have been trying to ventilate it. I figured its probably the warmer tank undernaeth making it a bit high. The batch of food has been done about 5 days so I'll do another tonight for him to have tomoro. He seems happy enough today so hopefully lowering the humidity should do it.

Thanks
