It's so good to hear that she's eating normally & growing, good for her! And shedding, that's good news. As for her tail, try using a soft toothbrush in her bath, just stroking softly to see if you can loosen the shed. If not try cocoa butter (it has to be pure), rub it on & it will help loosed the retained shed, then you can use the toothbrush in the bath to get it off. It's important to make sure that shed comes off or it could strangle that part of the tail and kill it. It happened to Lonzo, started tail rot & had to have about 2" of his tail amputated, so keep on top of that. It's the most usual place for retained shed. And I'm so glad to hear that her fat pads are increasing on her head, that's good news, too.
Golly sounds like my boys, just hanging around, eating the live food, not to good on the veggies/greens. I have to hand feed mine, as they won't eat greens otherwise and alot of the time I have to sort of force feed them, I put a piece of veggie (butternut squash) or collard green (they won't eat anything else) along the inside of their lip on the side until they open their mouth & pop it in. It's a pain, but as long as they're awake I'll do that, otherwise they don't get any nutrition during the winter. At least you were expecting it from him, it's not unusual for beardies who don't actually brumate, we call it semi-brumation.
So glad they're both doing well, though and Jade is doing fantastically. She is a lucky girl that you found her!
