bulking up a rescue

bathory May 02, 2009 07:06 AM

hi there.
i aquired a rescue who gets on well with my others. he is very active, but fairly thin. he needs to bulk out across his chest and his tail and desperately needs a shed. his skin is disgraceful. looks like he hasn't shed in years. have been feeding him seperately on locusts, pinkies and king mealworms and keeping him bathed and have been using biomist on him. sme success but would like to know if anyone has any tips for helping him out.
Thanks guys, your advice is always good
Rachel.
