Hello Rafael!

First things first, you need to separate your dragons IMMEDIATELY. Keeping dragons together can cause them to fight, get extremely stressed out, stop eating, get bullied, and possibly get killed or severely injured. It will be more expensive, but it NEEDS to happen.

Secondly, can you tell me what you have in your tank? What kind of lights, substrate (flooring), and tank accessories do you have? Just do your best to describe everything you have.

Hello,

Yes, we all suggest that you try to get them separated, especially if you have 2 males, or if they are siblings.
The compact/coil light is not a good light, it doesn't emit the proper wavelength of UVB for good exposure. They will have trouble with their calcium absorption since they are young & growing.

Let us know how he is doing.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
