I agree with the above post. Minor mite burdens rarely keep animals from eating. With imports there are also many other parasites to worry about, plus the stress from importation, other diseases, and dehydration. I suggest the vet visit as well, with a fecal and a blood exam. This gets the stress done and over with. Then I suggest seperating the poor-doers and placing in a more naturalistic vivaria where it can feel secure, secluded, and at home.

ps, of course husbandry is always #1 on any "fix-it" list, but I'm assuming that someone bringing in imports already knows what they're doing
