Rescued a baby beardie a while ago, for more info these will help:

viewtopic.php?f=5&t=210118
Basically she's (about) 7 months old, scared of being touched, attacks and eats things that move even in the wind, and a day ago she bit my other older bearded dragon's tail. They aren't in the same cage but they walk outside together, and that's almost the only time they're ever near one another. It was all fine up till now, she just usually climbed on him or just sat next to him all the time, and my other Beardie (male) is always very, very calm around her, even after she bit his tail! Well his tail is fine, but the main problem is that she... still keeps going after it. Like unfinished food. She goes after it exactly like she's hunting mealworms or something, and his tail kind of looks like one. Every time I look away she just goes over to his tail and I've had to stop her once more so far. At first I thought it was an honest accident because she's still little, but now it's obviously not an accident. The thing is, she even tried to go for one of his fingers too earlier today.
Is there any way to get her to stop going after him? I already only let them out under 100% supervision, and never leave them alone together now because I'm a bit scared of what might happen. I'm guessing it might have something to do with the fact that I'm feeding her mealworms, so maybe stop giving her as many mealworms? She eats them until she's absolutely full, but 5 minutes later she's going after something else. She had a bad owner before and she never really had enough food, so could it be that maybe she's kinda thinking she doesn't have enough food??? Although there's salad everywhere?? I don't even know. Any help is appreciated, thank you.
