 Baby question

Hey, I had a baby that managed to get missed when I dug up the eggs. I got a surprise when I had to get some dirt out of the bin for some crickets to lay in and there was a baby in the bucket.

So basically I believe that the baby was in the bin in a dark laundry room for almost 2 weeks, all of the others had hatched 2 wks before.

Well anyway, he was thin. It took probably about another week before he started eating, and at that it was maybe 1 roach nymph every couple of days. He was given natural sun light, kept warm, fresh water, warm water soaks, misting, veggies (which I have yet to actually see him eat). And he does have regular bms and they are normal.

He is now almost 2 months old and is still very small with extremely skinny legs and a hump in his back around his pelvis. He is eating his roaches on a much more regular basis and he is now inside because of the weather.

Has this happened to any of you? And if so is there anything else that I could possibly do to get the little guy to eat more or grow? And what about that hump in his back?

Any info would be great.

I will try to get a pic of him up, but the screen is out on the camera so it is a little difficult.

Thanks
