Hey guys, i just recently started working for a pet store and i am the most experienced person there with the reptiles. most of my experience is with snakes though. we have 3 collared lizards right now and 2 of them are starting to look pretty skinny. we have had these guys for over a month and have been great until now. we had 4, but one of them just stopped eating and eventually died. i don't want to see these other 2 go as well. i separated them from the one that is eating, thinking that they aren't getting the food. other than that i'm not sure what to do.



we have the healthy one on bark, 80* with a hot basking spot, no hide (do they need one?), they are all fed 6-8 crickets per animal every other day, calcium dusted once or twice a week.



the skinny ones are now on cage carpet with a hide, they just sit on top of it. fed the same. they show interest in the food but just dont go after it.



any suggestions on getting these guys back in shape?
