Thanks for reaching out about Liefie. Regurgitation twice is a little concerning, with possibilities being crop infections, parasites (trichomoniasis, other), foreign body ingestion, metabolic disorders, toxicities, husbandry problems and more. Check and correct husbandry including environmental temperature. A veterinary visit is recommended if regurgitation continues. Good luck.
