Baby veiled health concern

[chameleoman]

he every one i have 1 5-6 week old male veiled and and a 4-5 week old female in the same cage they are unrelated but my male is fat eating, drinking normal and everything but the female looks kind of skinny and eyes a little pinched side ways (like when theyre tired or sick) she eats but not as much as the male when i place fruit flies in there she slowly walks there and when shes on the cup the male runs and pushes her and starts eating and she just walks aways here are some pics does she look healthy to you guys?

the one on the right is the male with the bigger crest and the female is of course on the left shes a blue color

Babies are so cute....can you put fruit flies in 2 location so she doesn't have to compete with the male?

Is there any way you can have a separate cage? If not, you have to figure out a way for your female to thrive better when eating. Might also like to fill this out below, just in case your female is beginning to get ill:

I really think you need to keep her from having to compete with him. He's bigger, older and a male....all reasons she might back off and not get enough food. Either separate them or have 2 feeding stations so she can eat in peace.

ok ill try that tomorrow when i feed them, and at what age do you think i should get them there own enclosures because theyre unrelated?

Side note

It doesn't matter if they are related, they will still fight and/or breed. They do not recognize incest.

Veileds MUST be separated. She will be dominated to a point she might die. Try to get a second cage and place it visually apart from the male.

ok ill try to get my dad to build me another one
