ANSWER: Hello Sam :)
Congrats on the new Geckos!
How big is the enclosure in which they are housed? For two even if they are babies they should have at least a twenty gallon long tank. But you do sound like you know about the proper setup ie; temperatures, hides, substrates etc.

The only way to tell for sure is to sit and watch forever, or take one out and feed the one still in the enclosure and then switch them when he is done. But the common thing that happens (at least it happened to me) Is you get two babies thinking they wont have a problem with each other and I was sure the one was eating the other one not to positive then one day I woke up and my little guy's tail was missing. The other leopard gecko ate it. And they were in the same hide all the time and seem to get along when I saw them.

So keep a close eye on them. Territorial or dominant lizards will force the weaker one to stop eating. They will feel so threatened they just sit and wont eat or move. Its sad so keep an eye out for it.

And watch their night life too if you can just to find out how they react to each other when they are a little bit more awake.

Good luck!

QUESTION: Well thank you very much for the info :D and its a 30 gallon Breeder tank that i used for one of my ball pythons when it was a baby :D well see heres the thing thats odd the one that i am pretty sure is eating just sits in the hide and its the slightly bigger one, the slightly smaller one is the more active one and is the one i dont think is eating, and they dont eat really unless they have their hides and they eat from inside the hide, and it really ate the other ones tail? is it cus it was starving or cus it was just doing a dominates thing? and do you think i should have just gotten one? instead of two? i have another spare cage that i could use i just dont have the money cause of bills to furinis it enough to be liveable in, what should i do? im a worry wort >.<

Answer
Hi Sam,
That tank is big enough for two babies and even two adults as long as they are not both males.
It is common for new reptiles (newly purchased) to not want to eat. They are still afraid of their new surroundings and it can take up to a week for them to feel comfortable eating. The fact that they are only wanting to eat while in the hide is what made me think of this.
They are unsure of their new surroundings and I am sure a little stressed about all the new things going on around them. So give them some time. Try feeding at night or at least make the room a little darker for them so they can see better (sense they are nocturnal) and they wont try to hide from the light. Get a red night light for them (they cant see the red as light as we do) So feed them without the lights and if that doesn't work take off the bright lights, and wrap the enclosure with a towel or sheet that way they think they have privacy then peeking through a corner look inside to see if they are eating.

-Yes, Mosi ate Lofa's tail. And gave her a really bad bite on the top of the head as well. I believe they were fighting and Lofa had dropped her tail and Mosi ate it... At least it wasn't anywhere to be found in the cage... It wasn't from starvation they were both being fed. Just the one being dominant towards the other one. But they are both separate and happy now. This happened about a month after I got them both.

-It is common that with two lizards they will become territorial and dominant and it usually is safer to just get one because they are solitary animals.

Temporarly if you feel they should be separated until you know the gender so they don't hurt peashooter or cause harm or to be sure they are eating. separate them into separate enclosures and have them share the heat pad, the lights, and all the outside stuff. Be sure to put up a background of some sort so they cant see each other through the glass. Then make your own hides. You can use paper towels or newspaper as a safe substrate. (avoid sand at all costs) And use Tupperware bowls upside down with a hole cut in it for hides. The clear ones don't work too well.
Be creative there are lots of things to make hides out of.

I hope this helps. Let me know how it goes
