You might get away with the 2 girls, but not the boy. The bigger the better with the viv tbh its most definitely not big enough. They recommend that size for one dragon. The girls might be fine if you have a lot of space so that they can get away from each other if they want to. From what I have read on here, when the male reaches sexual maturity they can physically and violently dominate the females and make their life hell, and so he needs to be kept in his own viv, except during breeding time. Bit like keeping the stallion away from the mares once their covered, if that makes sense.

I'm suprised they can be sexed at 9 weeks...could be two baby males! TBH they look large for 9 weeks, but I am not that experienced, they just seem large to how mine were at that age!
I would certainly seperate the larger 'female' from the youngsters and see how they go for a while, or until you can positively sex them all.
