This is one of the things that you have to do with hatchlings. You have to keep an eye on who the bullies are and who the lizards are that are being bullied. The "runt" as you call it needs to be separated from his larger siblings or he will basically get eaten.

I usually give a discount for a nip, unless you find the part of the tail that was bitten off, which is rare, you have to take an educated guess as to how much was lost. I usually say "minor" or "major" tail nips. He should be fine though, just separate him from his siblings.

The poor thing, hope you separated him and are watching closely for any signs of infection as well as using Betadine soaks and triple antibiotic ointment on it.

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!
