Hello! i've got two bearded dragons, Zinc (3 months old about ten inches long) and Toes ( 1 month and like two weeks, five to six inches long) im concerned toes hasn't been growing properly, the size difference between them two is ridiculous, i feed them crickets meal worms dusted with calcium and a veggie dry mix which zinc loves, i haven't seen toes eat any of it mainly because he sleeps most of the time which is another concern of mine, my temperatures are around 85 and lows of 75. i turn the lghts oof between 11-11:30pm and back on between 9-9:30am. toe's is mainly active once you take him out of the tank. he explores for a little bit them finds a cozy spot and sleeps. not matter what time of the day, they both are all crawling around me as im trying to type this up :lol: i should also mention i got them both from my local petsmart separate trips. i got toes through adoption because he had a "blemish," they told me he had a bad shed an it cut the circulation off of his toes so they're no longer there. (i got him because i knew no one else would and i felt bad for the little guy). he has yet to she since i got him November 10th. i give them both warm soaks about twice a week. they are housed together with lots of the basking spots, two heating pads and two lamps. they get along great and help each other dig before they sleep and cuddle up together. please help me understand why my little baby has't grown!!! :(

They are pretty territorial and can intimidate eachother. My guess is that because they're housed together one is acting dominant over the other and monopolizing food and prime basking spots. I suggest building a second enclosure and separating them. When Toes has his own space he may start to eat well and thrive.

Please do separate them and increase temps. Basking spot should be about 105°F to 110°F. As mentioned, it could be stress and temperature related.
Its doubtful the missing toes were caused from a constricted shed. They were probably bitten off by another dragon. That's why its best yours don't live together.

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!
