    Dried out? Can you post a pic? There may be something wrong with him.. I don't think it would hurt to soak him either way though.

    You better get some provent-a-mite. Mites are a pain.. better get rid of them asap.

    I'd be very cautious with something like that. I would either ask a vet or use an over the counter treatment like Provent-a-mite.
