A bit of history

Dusty is an ackie I rescued from severe neglect earlier this year. He wasn't properly fed, to the point at 2 years old he hadn't had gone through puberty, and lost most of his fingers. Although I am admittedly not the best, I have been doing my hardest to help him, but factors beyond my control ( such as the landlord refusing to fix the insulation in the house) have been making his care difficult. He went through constipation for a while and has been having issues with shedding where he won't completely shed, and more recently this showed up on one of his nubs ( he didn't have a finger there when I got him)

I know some people might think I am neglecting him myself, but I wanted advice on how to help him. As a PhD student I don't get paid much, but I took measures like getting him more basking bulbs for proper heating, lots of rough substrate, basalt stones so he can rub against them and shed, a hygrometer/thermometer with substrate probe to monitor the conditions of his enclosure and I even water the substrate every two days to give him the best conditions for shedding, but I feel like I am still doing something wrong

Edit: I'm also moving out of this place to help my lizards feel better. I'm doing all I can.

Edit 2: he hates soaks, but for the last two days I have been soaking him as much as he will let me without getting too stressed. He is pooping as a result at least.

Edit 3: I had to remove the heating bulb he had for nights ( used mainly during winter ) because of the timer I bought him to give him closer to 12 hours a day of " daylight". It is back on, but unfortunately this house is so screwed up the outlets can't even take the load. I am moving this week, but I still want to help him.

Edit 4: I have literally even got the oil of the relic of a saint to anoint him. I have tried EVERYTHING under the sun.

Question to the ackie monitor owners, how do you give eggs to your scaly child? Hard boiled, raw, in the shell or otherwise? Looking for a way to get my monitor interested in eggs I've tried scrambled to some success but looking for a way to really get them interested as it seems like a great way to get them multivitamins
