pygmy dragon appetite

Hey guys,

I've just recently acquired two baby pygmy dragons (5 weeks old), and have been feeding them on speckled roaches.

Houdini (one of the dragons) really eats like a pig it’s like he treats every meal as if it were his last. I've seen him eat around 10 roaches in one feeding! Scratchy (the second dragon) doesn't seem to be eating anywhere near as much. He only eats around 4 roaches each feeding and takes his time doing it (compared to how quickly Houdini eats). Scratchy seems to be shedding his skin at the moment - don't know if this has any bearings on his appetite?

Is this normal or is there something wrong with scratchy?

P.S. I try to feed both dragons separately to ensure that scratchy gets his fair share.
