I rescued Myles a little while back, his thread here if you haven't read it(his name was Mello back then):

He's got healing bumble-foot and mites from his horrible conditions before, but we are healing. He needs to gain weight from eating that bird-like/hamster food. He is just skinny and it is noticeable when you look at his whole body. His head is bigger than it, and you can feel some bones, but it isn't horrible. He is about 350-370G at around a year old, but you can tell that it isn't his ideal weight. I know avocados and bananas are fattening, but I don't want to give him too much of those foods. What else can I do? I haven't given him either yet. Just his oxbow and fruits and veggies. :thankyou:
