So, about a month ago, we finished our 6' custom viv. It has a wooden divider in the middle of it, so Phred (1 year old male) & Butters (4 month old female) can't see each other. However, as smart as bearides are, they know they are on the other side.
Since I have moved Phred into here, he has stopped eating his dubia, and hardly eats feeders. When he was in his glass aquarium, he would eat 7 large dubia a day and he has lost 26 grams in this past month..
I also have Ollie, my other male. He is in a seperate enclosure in a seperate room... My question is, should I move my female, Butters into the totally seperate enclosure, and put Ollie in where she is now, on the other side of Phred? Would 2 males be more stressed out being housed next to each other even though they can't see each other?
Here is a picture of the viv's:

I don't know why Phred has stopped eating so quickly, and this is all I can think of. Not sure if having Ollie on the other side would make any difference... HELP??
