yeah he’s not super thin…crackly dry. But not too thin. Any chance that untreated mites could have damaged him that badly? He had a LOT.

Second: I would be inclined unless it would be detrimental to load some vitamins in his food proactively. If it’s water soluble and he gets rid of what he doesn’t need, that is. Is there a recommendation on brand?
