Feeding/other possible problems problems

[CanadianDragon]

After introducing a smaller chinese water dragon into the evironment with my 6 month old aussie water dragon. the water dragon has stopped eating. i have tried moving the new dragon out for a while to get him to eat but no success. and he won't eat out of my hand either. The new dragon is a glutton and is eating up a ton of crickets. just wondering if its normal for a dragon to not eat for afew days after a new reptile is introduced. The other problem i am having is with basking my aussie dragon is about 18inches tail included and this new chinese one is about 13- 14 tail included i don't have a scale at the moment to wieght them but anyway the larger one is laying on the smaller one in the warm spot i know this is to conserve heat but i was wondering if it was hurting the other dragon would he move or just lay there and take it.

Thanks in advance for any advice

The problem is i think is the stress of moving from cage to cage. leave him to settle down for a week, maybe 2 before he is fully happy and settled. goodluck.

oh and maybe the bigger dragon is dominating the smaller one? if they get aggressive maybe they should be seperated? Dan

Don't own these myself, but don't think you should be keeping lizards of different sizes together
I'm not sure on the aussie/chinese mix either, but tbh I think your best bet is to give them their own set ups
Wait for someone more experienced to give their advice first though

i am home most of the day and keep a close eye on them and so far there has been no head bobbing or any aggressive behavior that i can notice he just stared eating today had 2 crickets so atleast he got something. hopefully he will eat a few more for me tomorrow.

Would you be able to set up a seperate basking spot in your viv, they'll have their own space then so less risk of any fighting.
