the cage size could be intimidating for them. They, of course, could not tell you this. I keep my babies housed in much smaller tanks. They may be fed separately, but the proximity of a larger dragon could be detrimental nonetheless. It almost seems like the acknowledge the supremacy of the other dragon and don't allow themselves to grow as quickly, almost to assure themselves that they will not be seen as a threat by the larger dragon. Like a self-preservation act. This seems to be true even among babies. I do hope your 'rescue' was quarantined for a least a month to several months before being introduced to your others (or visa-versa).
Do, at least, consider what I have said - or typed, as the case may be.
Best of luck with them.  ----- Photos
