Hey been a while need some help. Just got a neglected hondo from a friend of a friend.

You could see back bone,skin is in good condition,no respitory problems that I can tell yet. Just looks malnourished. Ate small meal first night I got him in. I just think it was fed very infrequently for six months to a year.

How many meals should I keep it on smaller prey is one or two enough? Once I get it eating again on a regular schedule will it grow normally or does this type of neglect stunt growth, just curious?
