My bearded dragon is acting weird.

Question
QUESTION: Hi, yesterday evening my two bearded dragons fell off their branch leaving one on their back. I picked it up quickly and they moved ok but since that the one who didn't fall on its back is itching its head, like cats getting their scent onto stuff. The day temperature is 32c at the highest basking spot and the night temp is 25c at the highest basking spot. If you need more details ask me. I'm really worried for both of them.

ANSWER: Hello Ellie,


Are you housing them together?  How old are they?
Do you use UVB lighting & if so, what type do you use?  A fluorescent tube bulb or a compact/coil light?
How often do you use calcium supplementation?
The basking spot needs to come up some, to a range of 35 to 43 with the cooler end being around 26 to 28.
How are their appetites?
What do you feed them?

QUESTION: Yes they are housed together. They are both 3 months and 3 days. A reptisun uvb light. Its a fluorescent tube. Once a day for one feeding. Their appetites are fine. I feed them Locusts and waxworms occasionally with crickets as a staple diet.

ANSWER: Hello Ellie,

It sounds like one of them or both of them have a calcium deficiency.   
Great, it sounds like they are eating well enough.  Are you using a calcium supplement for them?  If so, how often?
Is there anything in between the light & your dragons like screen?

QUESTION: Theres no screen between the light and yes i use calcium powder for one feeding everyday. They seem to only want to be fed once daily with a large amount of crickets is that ok? Also one (the supposed girl one) has developed a grey patch on her head. The one that was itching seems to have stopped now. And i heard that putting them in the container of crickets is ok but is there a risk of them getting infected from the cricket poo? Is the heating urgent as i don't have much time to go through all the heating controllers and change it.

Answer
Hello Ellie,

Well, if they only want to eat once a day that is fine.  You should offer them food a couple of times a day, just to give them an opportunity in case they did want something else.
The heating & basking is very important.  If they are not at optimal temperatures of 95-110 for basking, they wont be able to properly digest their food.  
I would not put them in the cricket container no.  Just get a plastic bin & place some crickets in the bin & then you can put them in there to eat.  Feed them one at a time so they don't have to compete for food.  They wont get infected by cricket feces, but you don't want them licking any of it up when eating.
The greyish area on the head is probably due to her getting ready to shed in that area.  
You are using the Reptisun 10 tube bulb, correct?  It needs to be 6-8 inches from them, as well for maximum exposure & right beside the basking light.  
Once a day for the calcium is fine.  Usually, once daily, 5 times per week is good for calcium supplementation as long as they are eating enough with the powder on it.
