To get a better ideal of what is going on, it will be useful to know more details of your setup. How big is the cage? What is the ambient temp and basking temps? How far is your UVB light and what kind is it (florescent tube, or MVB). What sort of substrate do you have? Do you have only one basking area or do you have a few?


As one dragon is obviously eating as much as it can, I suggest separating them now. The reason the other one isn't eating is most likely due to the other dominating her. Once both are in separate containers, she should start eating more. Probably best to set them up so neither can see each other through the cage glass.

If she really starts to loose weight or becomes quite lethargic, make sure she is well hydrated and get her to a vet. a fresh stool sample should be brought as well.
