Uncertain and may need help

[Nicodemous]

Hello
Im not sure if this is in the right place but I wasnt certain,
Im not sure if Im over-reacting or not but Im asking for any help you all can give.
if I miss some info please ask, Im trying to get this right but.....

I have 2 young beardies ( but 8-9 month) Tamyas (male) and Shen-Ron (female),
Shen is doing fine as far as I can tell, She eats most of her bugs and a little bit of veggies,
She is 15" long nose to tail tip and she is 206 grams, her temps are on the dot, 108 basking, 80 for the rest of the viv
Shen and Tamyas share the same 4ft long x 3ft wide x 2 ft tall viv but there is a partition down the middle, They both have the same amount of space (see pics)

THis is Tamyas's side,

This is Shen-Ron's side,

They both currently share then same Reptisun10 tube light, I know its supposed to be closer but I only had the one fixture and bulb when I set the viv up at first. I have a second fixture and Reptisun10 I need to install so they both have their own UVB light. Im concerned about Tamyas right now, his eating habits are odder the usual, for about the last week and a half he has been eating less, and he has been sleeping in alot more lately, light on at 8 and he gets up at 10-11, but at around 3-4 everyday he will just climb under his stick near his basking spot and stay there. Back to eating habits...most of this week he has eaten a few bugs(maybe 4 a day) or a little bit of veggies(2-3 bites), he poops everyday but they are small poops. He shed last week so I know that is part of the reason but he has no appetite for much. His temps are the same as Shen's 108 basking and 80 for the rest. Tamyas is 131/2" long and 113 grams, he is alot smaller then Shen but I bought him because of that reason.

Here is a pic of both of them side by side,

They are both happy during the days, Tamyas wants out alot and Shen is happy to jsut bask. Im just getting worried about Tamyas, if anyone has some advice/ideas I would love to hear them, please and Thank you! If i missed anything that maybe important pllease let me know.

congrats on your beardies and I am so glad they are housed separate.

Okay the sand needs to be removed it houses bacteria even after the pop is cleaned up. Much better substrate is using slate tile shelf liner bamboo, Alot of us here use tile as it keeps the nails trimmed thus you dont have to clip them.
Sand also can cause impaction in beardies, also no calci sand or anything like that.

Basking temps for babies 105-110 cool side 85-90
night time temp 70's with no night lights or anything.

no misting baths are way better misting causes the humidity to rise and that can cause resp infection.

What are you using for feeders? Veggies what kind?

he might just be slowing down for the winter man, happened to my Franklin and he's being very annoying.

Have you tried feeding him different types of feeders? At about 7 months old mine stopped eating crickets. He just refused to eat them. I switched to silkworms and he pigged out like usual.
