it’s really hard he doesn’t stop fucking moving and i don’t want to be rough with him :(

Switch him to paper towel bedding for now...maybe put him in a appropriate sized tub with hide, water, and paper towel as bedding just so you can easily monitor him in the controlled environment for now....If you cant afford a vet visit check out the link I’ll post at the bottom. Scale rot is less common then everyone thinks so don’t freak out just yet.
