First of all, house them speparately. Animals will sometimes not eat because the dominant one is present. Also, lay off the mealworms. Mealworms are high in chitin and hard for their little tummies to digest, regardless of their age. Crickets are the best, and a few superworms once a week, though I had a bad experience with supers (might just be my dragon). Also, has she been having normal bowel movements, and is she going into burmation? My little girl won't eat for about two days beforehand.

This dragon is too thin for brumation....her activity + low weight are primarily from being housed with the male. She may have even been bred + lost all that weight while being with the previous owner. And mealworms are O.K, just not as the primary feeder. Please look up the nutrition content, they are not the horrible food that people are making them out to be. This female dragon is stressed + should be given the food that she will eat....just not in large amounts. But definitely needs to be separated from the male permanently.
 
Had same type of problem with mine. But always been housed by himself. Introduce new healthy staples and some dragons get used to hand feeding. Sometimes will depend on it. But if you can try a feeder called Dubia roaches. Dragons go crazy for them. Well mine did when I first introduced them to him. Has four times the meat as a cricket. And if you played your cards right colony of them. Would pay off in a lot of ways. Would take some time tho. Tried it and failed but sure others here could give you great advice on it. If your willing too.

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!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
