new baby seems lethargic

[smokejunky]

I got 2 babies about 3 weeks old last week.the female wouldn't eat for about 2 days didnt think of anything she was just getting used to her surroundings.she eats like a champ and is super energetic.
The male was a great eater and spunky when we got him.but for the past 2 days he hasnt ate.now this morning he opens his eyes for a couple seconds and doesn't really move unless I mist them.
There both in shed would this case it?
What can I do to help him?
Usv bulb is a week old and basking spot is 95 to 100

3 weeks old is much too young to rehome ... often leads to health issues. One thing you should do is bump up your basking temp 10-15F, youngsters should have basking temps in the vicinity of 110F. This may help. Shedding is also a good possibility for the reduction in appetite. Other than that, keep an eye on him & let the shed run it's course. Could possibly still be in it's acclimation period too.

Yeah I didnt know that when we bought them.i really dont think hes going to make it through the night.hes waked around for a couple.sec all day and still cant keep his eyes open.i tryed to feed him sweet potatoes out of a dropper like I had to do to our other dragon but he didn't take any.

Hi, im not a fan of misting. Personally if your dragons were mine. With the age you stated...I would soak them in warm water up to there arm pits daily. Feed them twice a day appropriate sized crickets dusted with plain calcium. I would also set the two up in a 58qt sterilite tote with either a bare bottom or newpaper/paper towel for the time being. I wouldnt go to extravagant on furnishings. Just one piece of wood for basking or a rock. Keep it simple. When they are this young. You will be feeding a lot, they will poop a lot so minimal furnishing will help with cleaning and feeding. Temps should be around 100-110* basking, mid 80* ambients cool side.

Are they being housed together?

Sorry ive been pretty busy.the baby passed away.the breeders said it might have been the shock of being shipped or many things.there cages like my others are pretty plain like ive learned on here . they're not being housed together the breeder sent me a 8 in replacement so hes in a 40 breeder and the babies in a 29 to start off.thanjs for all the help just sucks that he couldn't make it.
