You will have to burmate them, usually done in fall/winter. You put them down for about 6 weeks without food (or minimal food) and keep them dry.

Anything that looses more then 15% of body weight is pulled and re-hydrated and fed.

I got a bit ahead of myself. To start, you cut off food (week one lets say) but keep watering. Then 6 weeks down time, then the 8th week you bring them back up with lots of water, and start the food again at end of the week.

Then feed and mist heavily. A mister is a good idea if at all possible. A couple of males are always nice, as depending on one isnt a good move generally speaking.
