One thing: where do these things fall on the hierarchy? No handling, treatment, feeding.

the original plan was to leave him alone a couple weeks and get a few meals down him before handling him. But I feel like that sort of went out the door with the mites. His last meal was supposedly 2 weeks ago, so my thought was treat first, but didn’t know whether to offer food after a week of mite treatment.

I wanted him to acclimate but I feel like the other health concerns are more pressing and override typical protocol.
