Best thing to do, is separate all the bearded dragons. For the one that has a nipped tail, keep the cage as clean as possible, put a bit of neosporin cream/ointment on the tip. Keep an eye on it. If it starts to grow black and spreads further up the tail or if your dragon starts to show signs of sickness, get him to a vet, he may need anti-biotic shots and or amputation of the tip to prevent infection from spreading.
