i have 2- 9 week old dragons together in a 3'x1.5'x1.5' tank. i male and 1 female. the female seems to look tired. the males eyes are wide open and he seems alert. while the female looks tired and a less alert. is the female just maybe a lazy dragon or is there something i should worry about. they both eat equally-greens and crickets. (she becomes super alert when i throw some crickets in) i will try to post a picture

and do you provide UVB? Both temp and UVB play a large role in the amount of energy that a beardie has. Also, a parasite infection could cause a beardie to be a lot less active. How are her stools? Do they hold shape or are they smelly and runny?
