Don't keep hatchlings in with older, bigger leos. There is always the risk of the bigger one attacking or even eating the baby (in the worst possible case that is). Most likely it will intimidate the baby, keeping it away from food and hides. Keeping them separate is the way to go until the baby becomes big enough to defend itself.

Your baby would most likely end up as a snack for the other leo. Babies should never be housed with adults. And even if being eaten is not a possibility due to size, only leos of same size should be together or the smaller one will likely get bullied/not get enough food.
