I have three young geckos (around 2 and 1/2 months tops). Housed in a 15 gallon vivarium. 2 small and 1 medium hide. 1 water cup, 1 food cup, 1 vitamin cup. Temp is from 83-88F. Feeding them small mealworms and recently small crickets.
Here's the story...
I got the first one (hi yellow). He was okay, eating every so often. Not everyday. He poops everyday (i don't know where it comes from). I saw him drinking water a lot so i guess he was okay.

Then i got two more (Mack Snow and Tangerine). The Tangerine was visibly older than the two since he was bigger. The Mack Snow i got was really scrawny. By this time i noticed my high yellow was growing just a bit.

I'm sure all of them can eat the mealworms since i've seen them eat at least one each.
After a few weeks, I noticed that my Hi Yellow was now the thinnest of the bunch (thinner even than the mack snow when i got him). Always out of the hide. I still catch him drinking water.
The Tangerine is relatively the same.
But my Mack Snow grew a lot, being the biggest now of the three. I catch him eating a lot (once, 4 worms in one night).
Lately, i tried feeding small crickets. Only the Mack Snow was the eater of the three.
Is there something wrong with this setup?
Is my Mack Snow bullying them into not eating of something?
Should i seperate my Hi Yellow from the other two?
Should i separate them all?
Help! :main_huh:
