Is this a problem?

I have three juvies with two at 11 weeks and one at 13 weeks old. There is a bit of a size difference, but not significant like adult/juvenile. Two of the leos feed very well and are growing fast. The third feeds just so-so, but does eat, only not nearly as much. All of them get along fine and there is no fighting at all. This smaller female does not seem to be afraid of the other two and never retreats from the others or shys away. She's smaller, looks healthy - not skinny and is just kinda laid back and is never in a rush about anything. At night I leave a dish with about a dozen mealies and half dozen crix, and half to most of these are gone by morning. This is after I have fed them the same by hand earlier the evening (each gets individually fed). My question is whether this leo could be intimidated, stressed, or just naturally has a smaller appetite than the others. One more thing - this leo along with the other younger one are not afraid of me at all - the older one ususlly bolts for a hide! Thx - RR
