What to do about runts??

[Stephies_Leo _Dragon]

I have about 3 or 4 runts in my babies that I am not sure what to do about. I have them housed separately and offer them food separately but they just don't eat much. They are about 3 weeks old. Is their anything extra I can do to speed up the growing process? Or will they catch up eventually? Or will they always be small dragons? They don't appear to be sick or anything. They poop ok and eat greens a little. It just seems like the bigger ones from the same clutch are more aggressive about eating. And they do get daily baths, temps are ok and have reptisun 10 uvb. Any advice is appreciated.

runts just take a lil longer to start hitting their drastic growth spurts.

I'd listen to the two above me. They have some great babies because of their knowledge.

Just keep doing what you're doing with them and they'll catch up soon enough.
