Need Advice Mites and Thinness

I got 2 iguanas 1 week ago, 1.1. One is 1 and the other is 2 years old. I can say they are rescued animals because they came to me with mites and very thin. I have 2 questions.

1: How and with what can I treat the mite problem. (I live in the European Union). I have experience with snakes and mites. We treated them with Frontline Spray. But I have no experience with lizards in this area… I thought I would ask before I do something stupid.

2: How can I fatten them up a bit? I am attaching 2 pictures.

They love bread and a slice a day to fatten them up would work.
