These two horned lizards look to be in real poor shape. Their weight and fat storage need major work. The one on the left is female and the one on the right is male. I would work at an even pace to build up the fat storage and increase their weights. Do not feed the horned lizards anything that is high fat content or use any vitamin supplements initially. Ants are the primary diet and that is the primary food item to work with initially. After there are signs of weight gain, very minimal supplements can be supplied, but I recommend against that, as the natural diet will be the best cure. Provide fresh water at all times for hydration.
